Saturday 17th December 2012
Prep: Shower
Razor: Unbranded French
Blade: Heljestrand
Brush: Tuxedo Knot Vie Long Handle
Soap: T.O.B.S. Luxury Stick
Aftershave: Astral Cream (soft)
EDP: Chanel Cristalle

My first use of this shaving stick and I am finding it difficult to see what is 'Luxurious' about it. It is (IMHO) a decent ordinary every day veggie glycerine based soap (stick) slightly inferior in all departments to La Toja another veggie stick at a fraction of the price and substantially inferior to a humble Palmolive stick costing tuppence ha'penny! Ah well... it was worth a try and I will certainly use it all.

Regards
Dick.

By concentrating on good and consistent Shaving Technique, over the last 2 weeks have had great shaves with a variety of vintage SE/injector razors.

Today returned to a modern SE S/S injector Razor- the Claymore. The Razor/ Blade combination works well for me
as I had the Smoothest and most Comfortable shave, with no mishaps or post shave irritation. Most importantly
the Shave was very close, and reached parts that other razors do not do well - the neck areas have never been so smooth. Hope that for other Shavers, the revised version of this UK Razor will come to market.

I'm on the waiting list for the new Claymore and can only hope that it will give me as good a shave as you are getting with the original.

An excellent start to the weekend with a great shave. The Zenith Boar whipped up a mountain of rich lather with the wonderful scent filling the room. I went with a traditional 3 pass shave, WTG, XTG & ATG, followed by minimal touch ups. This ended with a my usual near BBS. I didn't feel the need to chase the baby so I let that one trouble spot on my neck go free for the day. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.
