S.O.T.D. Sat. 1st Feb 2014 to Frid. 7th Feb. 2014

Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Murdock Avalon pre-shave oil
Soap: Fox's Master Unscented Lather + Lavender EO
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Brush: Omega boar 10005
Razor: Fatip + Templ8 handle
Blade: Sputnik (1)
After: M&S Harvard AS, Bluebeard's Revenge ASB

More protection needed from the Fatip so Fox's miracle soap was brought into play. Added a few drops of lavender essential oil to scent the unscented.
Cracking BBS shave resulted. I think the Bluebeards ASB goes well after this soap.

Here comes the weekend...

My new EJ DE89 arrived today, so I partnered it with a Derby blade, Omega boar brush and RSC Cream.
WOW!
What a fabulous shave, the EJ is so much easier to shave close with than the Feather Popular.
Derby blades are fairly tame and tugged a little, so will try with my favourite (so far..) Personna blue..

Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow.
Brush: Bluebeards Pure Badger.
Cream: Proraso Shaving Cream.

First time using the Proraso Shave Cream. As it's a hard cream/soft soap I need a bit more lathering practice.

It's great for travelling. Takes up no space and unbreakable - even for Turkish baggage handlers!
