Razor: Parker Variant (restored by Delta Echo)

Blade: Polsilver (3rd use)

Brush: Frank Shaving 26MM Silvertip Badger 

Cream: Coates Cream Sandalwood 

Aftershave: Nivea Post Shave Balm 

• Quite the lather built up with this cream. Out of all the Coates Creams I ordered this had the best and strongest scent. It is in line with TOBS Sandalwood scent wise.

Blade: Polsilver (1st use)

Bowl: Jay’s Clay 

Brush: Stirling Boar Hair 

Soap: Lakewood Soap Co. Harvest 

Aftershave: The Stray Whisker After Balm. 

• Great pairing with the Polsilver blade and the Timeless razor. These sharp blades that have a good degree of smoothness to them pair really well with this razor. 

• Without looking at the scent notes I get a fresh bag of apples with this soap. I am really enjoying the fall sampler.

Blade: Perma-Sharp (1st use)

Brush: West Coast Shaving Black Beacon Synthetic 

Cream: Taylor of Old Bond Street Platinum 

Aftershave Balm: The Stray Whisker After Balm 

• A friend of mine offered me the 6C unused for $15.00. I couldn’t pass up that offer to try it out. Very efficient and smooth. The chrome head just glided along. 

• Very good post feel with TOBS and The Stray Whisker After Balm.
