[pugh-the-special-one]

Preshave Edwin Jagger Hydrating cream
L'Occtaine Soap
De Puys 'Perfect' Razor
Myrsol Balm and A/S

A cheeky little razor not much more than 4/8" and you don't come across them very often.​

Nice looking De Pews Rob, I was offered a really nice one a few weeks ago from a member over on the straight razor place in super condition I was very tempted in fact I may go back as he told me he was going to hold on to the razor.

Tricky shave, tried a few different settings on the Fatboy as I don't think I'm getting the best out of it. Couple of nicks not a great shave.

Sunday Night

Hot Towel
Edwin Jagger Mentholated Pre/Post Shaving Lotion
Edwin Jagger Mentholated Shaving Soap
Edwin Jagger Best Badger 21mm
PAL Adjustable - Personna Stainless PTFE [3]
Gillette e1940's Tech - SuperMax Blue Diamond [5]
Hot Rinse, Cold Rinse & Alum Wash

Bowl Lathered
One Pass - WTG (Aborted)
Two Pass - WTG & XTG

I gave this PAL Adjustable a final go before sending it back to its owner. I just couldn't get it to do anything ...

So, early 1940's Gillette Tech in hand and a final run for this SuperMax Blue Diamond blade and we're smooth again ... ready to face the week.

Pinaud Lilac Vegetal all over, gorgeous! Trumper Eucris and we're proper sorted for the evening. Love 'em both!

SUNDAY EVENING

Prep: Hot rinse & prep cream massaged into beard
Razor: Joseph Allen 5\8, Feather AC kamisori with Proguard
Brush: Semogue 2011 LE boar 2
Soap: MdC Fougere - scuttle lathered
Post - Witch hazel & IK balm

Have decided to go 'Baxter Basics' with the straight as I haven't got to grips fully with, erm, the grip!

So, WTG and XTG with the straight and a finishing ATG with the Feather has yielded very nice results indeed.

For this week's shaving I have lined up a DE, injector, straight and Feather. Choices, choices!
