Vulfix 404 Grosvenor
Razorock Hawk v2
Schick Proline P-30 (3)
TTFFC Let It GO
Alum Block, Nivea 2 Phase & Aqua Velva

A nice mentholated shave to start the week, been a busy weekend so didn't have chance to post or take my SoTD pics. A bad shave saturday with an iKon 102 and Supermax Blue Diamond Titanium, got myself good on the neck and lip. A great shave yesterday with the above combination with Dusy Klar Kabinett.

I must say this v2 Hawk is impressing me no end combined with the Proline, maybe eventually upgrade to a General. But for now I'm happy getting used to SE razors with this. So far so good!
 
Mon 12th March

Vulfix 404 mixed
Vitos Super Red
PAL Injecto-Matic de luxe
Schick Proline [ 4 ]
Tuff Red A/S Lotion

Tried the PAL today after the Canadian E2, both fitted with a Proline Blade.It was immediately obvious that the PAL was much smoother, a step up from when partnered with a Chick. An excellent Vitos Lather made the Shave very easy and comfortable, and I was rewarded with a nice close all round finish. Perhaps got a bit closer on the Cheeks with the E2, but the PAL was better on the Chin and around the Neck. I will not choose a Favourite as I enjoy using both of them , though for an easy Shave it would be the PAL.

As i only keep a small range of soaps/creams in the bathroom it's easy to use the same ones for weeks. Earlier today it occurred to me that I hadn't used a Wickham soap for quite a while.
A quick re-jig and I've got a whole new line up of soaps to hand
Russian Leather is one of my favourites. Easy to lather and slicker than the inside of a Duckhams oil can.
FIrst time using a 7 O'clock blade and I was quite impressed. Smoothness and efficiency in equal measure.
Having been out in the wind and rain for most of the day an early bath and shave was needed, and it certainly did the trick.
A splash of Old Spice to finish and I feel brand new, pampered and refreshed.
