Saturday 19th October 2013
Prep: Shower
Razor: Schick Adjustable
Blade: Schick Super Stainless Platinum Coated (NOS)
Brush: Semogue SE 2012 Mixed
Soap: Arko Stick grated
Aftershave: Astral Cream (light)

Wonderful shave. I am really thrilled with this new brush, I have no misgivings or concerns about it at all; it clearly needs a bit of breaking in and it still smells like a wet spaniel but I know it will be just superb.

Regards
Dick.

Prep: shower
Pre: homemade pre shave oil
Cream: Erasmic
Razor: Rocket Paperclip (I think?!)
Brush: Vie Horse hair
AS: TOBS Shaving Shop
AB: Arlington

A decent shave today guys, just got a new razor delivered this morn, I'm not sure what type of Rocket it is as I don't have scales. Dave.b kindly sourced some info on the Paperclip for me, going by the weight alone it's surely one of these. It's very, very light and a mild shaver.

Cheers

First go with the OS and the HK. Like the performance of the OS and the smell of the HK!
 
Saturday:

Afternoon, all.

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: EJ DE89 with Bulldog handle
Blade: 7 o'clock green (15)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave soap: Kell's Hemp and Aloe. Ancient Sedona
A/S: Ricardo L'Homme Black
Cologne: Army Oud, Perfume Parlour's clone of Armani Privé Oud Royal

A totally unexpected BBS. Yesterday I finished the Kell's Black Tea sample puck and fancied trying the Ancient Sedona sample: it's a rich, spicy scent with a bit of the desert in it - lovely and, as usual with Kell's soaps, very effective.

P160 is my favourite soap in my rotation. Being rather aged the scent's long gone, but performance and post shave feel is excellent. A cut above Kent / MWF for me. It's the only Italian soap I've used to date - does anyone have any thoughts on which of the in production Italian soaps is the closest match?
