S.O.T.D Sat. 23rd Nov. to Frid.29th Nov. 2013

Grrrr! I've had one ffcker of a day ... not sure why, but it was one of those days ...

After a gorgeous dinner which I decided to dedicate all my time and interest to, I had a shave. I normally wait a full day, but tonight was one of those exceptions, so I sat back on a known good combo ...

Shower
Olive Oil/Olbas Oil PSO
NSS Goat Milk Soap
Pure Badger Brush
Merkur 23C/SuperMax Blue Diamond [2]
Hot Rinse
Cold Rinse
Alum Wash
Cold Rinse
Brut Aftershave Lotion

Ahhh! I feel better. Relaxing G&T ... breathe ...

Brush: Vulfix Bodger
Soap: Figaro P.160 face rubbed
Razor: Ikon Slant
Blade: Polsilver #2
Post: Sal Alum, Weleda Smooth Shave Toner, Bulldog ASB

Result: Real light touch with the Slant this morning after last weeks festival of claret!! It certainly is, to my mind anyway, my most aggressive razor. Anyway it all feels lovely this morning, no nicks, weepers or anything.

Tuesday

Tabac
Frank Shaving Pur-Tech
Slim Adjustable
Sputnik
TOBS Shaving Shop AS
Fitjar Mint ASB

First use of the Pur-Tech with a hard soap and it performed well. It certainly feels a bit different on the face to the badgers and boars I've got, but it whipped up a good lather. BBS results.
 
Tuesday:

Morning, everybody.

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: Sodial/Junjie
Blade: Super Max Blue Diamond (4)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave soap: Palmolive
Aftershave: Mandate

Very good and very close.
 
Tuesday's Torment:

Edwin Jagger DE89L, single shim, Crystal Super platinum (4)
Vulfix 404 'Bodger'
Ingram
Blue Stratos AS
Astral
Blue Stratos EdT

This blade likes the shim or rather my face likes the combination. Smooth, forgiving and suitably efficient. Jolly nice shave.
