Razor: Ever Ready 1912 Bathroom (travel)
Blade: GEM Stainless Coated
Brush: Muhle Synthetic Small
Soap: Arko Stick
Aftershave: Astral Cream (soft)
EDT: CK Obsession

I have just returned from Tesco and there is a shelf full of Christmas sweets on display, there is something quite obscene about that in September when I have yet to put away my flipflops. It would seem that this years Christmas crap has even beaten the tacky Halloween rubbish to the shelves!

Regards
Dick.

Kit for today...

Blade..Gillette NACET #1
Razor..Hone type 15a
Brush..Omega pro boar
Soap..OSP Bay rum

This is a cracking blade and worked very well in the Hone 15a.
The smell from the bay rum OSP was intoxicating, wonderful .
A lovely smooth and efficient shave was the result of this blade, razor and soap combination.

Wishing you a wonderful day.

  • Everytime i use blue goat's milk tallow, i get a superb shave, today was no exception..i've found a soap that is totally matched to my skin type, i suppose i'm lucky most soaps& creams i've used haven't had a reaction to my skin, i've had the odd irritation burns, but that was probably down to me been to cocky, adding pressure to the razor, rushing & not applying a proper technique to my shaving...yes another wonderful 3 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report.Enjoy your day gentlemen. :cool:
