Hot shower
Hot flannel
TOBS Rose cream scuttle lathered
Simpson Rover best badger brush
Gillette NEW Big Boy
Gillette 7 o'clock super stainless
Cold rinse
Thayers Lavender witch hazel
Myrsol F/extra aftershave
Lovely comfortable shave today. First time for the Big Boy, works well with the super stainless. The water is icy cold from the tap now and the Myrsol has a freezing effect on my chops from the menthol content :icon_smile:

Been off for a few days, but here goes:
Hot flannel
Proraso pre, menthol
Simpson's Colonel X2L, T&H 1805 cream
Merkur Progress (#3; #2.5), Rapira SS (1)
Cold splash
Clinique post-shave soother
Not shaved for two days, so turned the dial on the Progress up a bit (usually on #2)... very nice results.
Forgotten how lovely the T&H 1805 is, haven't used it for ages.

LEA shaving cream
EJ head on cheap knurled handle
Turkish no. 6
Rapira super stainless
Superdrug Forest Fresh
Very good shave after a very stressful day. Didn't really feel like shaving but knew I wouldn't want to get up earlier tomorrow to do it and glad I did now. Was topped off by the lovely Forest Fresh. I have half a bottle left; nearly little enough to justify another bottle.

Bleh! Get Boots Freshwood instead. That's from a bizarre fella with an even more bizarre nose! Still got that Mr Sidney's tucked away?

Hot shower & 3P
Omega 20102
TOBS Almond
ATT Titan R1
Lab blue (4)
Superdrug Sierran Breeze
Lab blue still holding out, works so well with the R1. Another big omega boar brush courtesy of a member here. Just a touch more backbone than the 98 I like this one a touch more buy prefer the 98 handle length with my big bowl.
Onwards with the boar testing.
