Aleppo soap - Shave pre wash
Cyril Salter - MS Ed2band
Arko stick - grated
ER 1924
Gem S/S ( 2 )
Tuff Red A/S Lotion

Was rather cautious using the ER 1924 as it is a Razor that can be rather aggressive, if handled without care.Found it to be nicely balanced with the Crown handle, and though not ultra close the finish attained was satisfactory.

The Planned Sabre shave was put on the Subs bench so i could give the Enders some trial face-time.
The CH2 brush whipped up colossal amounts of the good stuff from Signature soaps, i do enjoy this Sandalwood, Vetiver and Bergamot blend.
The Enders is a great little razor in the hand and feels quite natural, the first few tentative strokes were good, even with a new Personna which i find can be a bit harsh on the first use, i completed a full WTG pass, switched out to the Sabre for an XTG pass, bloody hell this razor is just so smooth. I finished the shave using the Enders ATG which started to feel really nice. I am Happy with the carrier set up, therefore i need to make the carrier set up more permanent.
I really did enjoy that.
Enjoy your day all.

Bowl Captains choice Obsidian Copper.
Blackland Shaving Towel.
Brush Zenith Copper Boar.
Soap Folk Soap Bay Rum.
Razors Cyber ++ & Brass Overlander.
Blade Feather.
Aftershave Folk Soap Bay Rum.

Today's shave was brought to you with the compliments of Folkes Soap @p.105 who kindly supplied the soap and aftershave for me to test give to give an honest and trust me unbiased opinion.

I have to say as soon as I opened my parcel today I was greeted with a lovely Bay rum scent from the off, this gets bonus points because personally I prefer strong scents.
I do not have a spare tub so I cut off a small piece and pressed it into my trusty bowl, producing a mountain of lovely lather was a breeze with this soap and when I called the wife upstairs to smell the lather, she said she could already smell it as she approached, scent box ticked for me.

The lather was slick and it gave me a lovely 2 pass shave, I rinsed my face and went over a couple of spots for touch ups and my face still felt slick even though I just rinsed it with warm water.
I did a headshave and again no issues with the lather and I will talk more about the flexible handle and Cyber razor that has been very kindly lent to me by @slapo in a day or two once I have formed a more experienced opinion.
Now let's talk about the aftershave.
For me I am on the fence, it is very oily and I see on the website it's sold with a pipette, I now understand why as I might have applied a little too much but it struggles to soak into my skin.
I would not use it for work if I had to wear a shirt as the oil would mark it.
I will have a play around the next few days to see if I can get it to not leave my hands greasy after stroking my face.
I will say both the soap and aftershave have left my skin feeling great.
The scent does last and I love that so bonus points and I will goto the website and place an order to add the Bay Rum to my den including the hand soap regardless because I am more than happy with the scent.
All in all, an 9/10 shave.
I will report back as the week goes on.
That's it.

Enjoy your night, everyone.
