S.O.T.D. Sat. 21st Sept. to Frid. 27th Sept. 2013

Greetings

Tuesday 24th September 2013
Prep: Shower
Razor: Gillette 'Old' Mayfair Set
Blade: Super Iridium & one shim
Brush: Vulfix 406 Boar
Soap: La Toja Stick grated
Aftershave: Astral Cream (light)

A lovely DE shave, my first for a couple of weeks. It's probably a year since I have used one of these blades, I had forgotten just how smooth they are, I don't believe they necessarily give a closer shave but they are (IMHO) one of the smoothest and most comfortable DE blades I have tried.

Regards
Dick.

mon evening

johnsons babysoap x2 face wash
merkur travel
7OC yellow (1)
simpson brush
LEA stick new formulation
skin food

nice clean shave. i find that the fatip piccolo is a bit to aggressive unless used after about 3-4days. it was excellent on 9 days of growth, 3 pass bbs, however my face doesn't like it after only a day or so rest, hence the mild merkur. results were good. i intend to use the mild razor a bit more often to try and get the face used to regular shaving

happy days
