I don't have pictures, but mine was as follows:
EJ89 with Supermax blade, once used.
RubberSet restored with synthetic knot
Ogallala Bay Rum and Sandalwood soap
Captain's Choice Cat O'Nine Tails
I have gone two days without shaving, and Sunday is my 4 pass luxury shave. But the Supermax didn't agree with the EJ89 for some reason. I still got a DFS, but had two cuts that I noticed before going to Church. Still I have smooth Cheeks and jaw.
I do have a picture of my brush, however.

How do you like it? I'm thinking of ordering that one when my Bay Rum, Sage & Cedar is done.
I love it. It doesn't have strong bay rum scent, but it's there in the background. It's a very mild fragrance to my nose. My wife likes it as well.
Well after having some major surgery for a large abdominal hernia on Tuesday, spending 3 days in the hospital and just now getting a chance for a nice shave which I really needed bad, I chose a Gillette Silver Blue for todays shave. It turned out to be a great choice.
Happy Easter Gentlemen.
I decided to go all vintage today right down to the Blue Blade

Great shave, bad pic from a dumb phone.
Whipped up a frankenlather with Williams and Real Shaving Company cream using a Semogue 620 boar brush. EJ DE87 razor loaded with a Voskhod blade (2nd shave). Pinaud VIBR after shave. DFS.
Great! I was having some trouble lathering it, until I read on their website to make it more of a paste than foam, so I did that and had an excellent shave. Very happy with their soap (now...).
I have the bath soap and deodorant as well. Which I used today along with the shave soap.
No time for a photo, but BBS using:
Prewar Tech / Feather / Stirling Balck Ice / Semogue 1305 / Aqua Velva Ice Blue / Nivea ASB
Prewar Tech / Feather / Stirling Balck Ice / Semogue 1305 / Aqua Velva Ice Blue / Nivea ASB
How long does the bath soap last? Price per bar is kinda high, for me... I had a bar in my shopping cart yesterday but removed it before I placed the order. I'm kind of regretting it now.
Here's what I used today. Happy Easter to everyone.
I used Mach 3 and Gillette goop. I was at my sisters house, she has small children.
Hope everyone is having an enjoyable Easter with their families and / or friends!!

EJ DE89 Barley, new IP blade, Semogue 830, AOS Tallow Lavender Soap, Creed GIT half strength.
Used my 1953 Gillette SS for the first time. I didn't know when I bought it, but it turns out to be my Dad's birthday razor. Loaded it with an Astra SP (another first), and face lathered Proraso green soap with my Omega 10066. The Astra seems to be forgiving and fairly sharp. This led to 3 passes even on my neck, plus buffing. Got my neck pretty clean, but lots of bumps showed up after. Oh well, I'm still pretty green at this. I can see why the Astra is popular, only one weeper from a fairly sharp blade. Happy Easter gents!
