This big badger, while luxuriously soft, is still being a bit parsimonious about hogging my lather. Fortunately, it's no match for MdC. That stuff lathers up if you so much as look at it... :smug:
 
Pre-shave:- Cool Shower
Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice
Brush:- Omega 11047 "Mixed Midget" (Badger/Boar) 20/43mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Dr. Selby Lavender
Razor/Blade:- Merkur 34C / Gillette Minora Stainless #3
Post/After-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed into the 240ml bottle with Invite E High Potency Pure Oil (10 drops), Natural Plant Glycerine (20) & Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (5)
Moisturising Cream:- Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Fragrance-Free (for autumn & winter season)
Fragrance:- Hugo Boss Intense

Dr. Selby Lavender isn't too bad, however, no whereas close to natural pure Lavender. Not sure that I might keep this in my den, need to use it for a while before I might sell it.

I had problems with GEMs in the past but I think I'm going to give Vestige a chance 🤟 :)

I was wondering if you might take the plunge and complete your collection of Atelier Durdan razors ;)

I've been finding the more I use the GEM blades, the more I like them. The Vestige has probably become my go-to razor. The ++ plate is ideal for me, I don't think I needed to spend the extra on the +++ plate.
