Hot shower
Hot flannel
T&H Grafton cream scuttle lathered
Custom made by myself Mahogany, TGN Finest badger 18mm
Gillette 58
Gillette Super Thin (2)
Cold rinse
Thayers Lavender witch hazel
Old Spice Sensitive aftershave

A fine shave, the little brush easily whipped up some lather in the scuttle. The T&H creams lather themselves almost.
 
Cold water splash
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger
Weber Poilished / Bulldog
Gillette Silver Blue (1)
Clinique Post-Shave Healer, Clinique M-Lotion

A weaper near my adam's apple, but nothing serious. Double dose of post-shave lotion and I'm good to go.
 
Pre: Village Barber oil
Soap: Master Lather - Lavender & Mint - Wickham Soap Co.
Brush: M&F L7 Butterscotch
Razor: EJ DE89 with Templ8 custom handle
Blade: Sputnik (6)
Post: Thayer's Lavender witch hazel
AS: Proraso balm

Sputnik saw its last shave today. Fox's Master Lather whipped up a treat, silky smooth and lovely scent.
 
Decided to take another shave this afternoon, not quite happy with this mornings shave and I had the dentist this afternoon.

Decided to give Godrej, a hard soap from India a try. Have to say I was quite impressed with this soap, lathered very well. Bit of an odd smell though. The added scent mixes with the smell of the Palm in the soap and together gives a rather unique smell.


Soap - Godrej - Hard Soap from India

Tuesday Evening

Hot Towel
Nuage Men PSO
Fox's Mentholated Shaving Soap
Pure Badger 23mm
7 O'Clock British Long Comb - templ8 Custom Ball End Handle
Gillette Sharp Edge [5]
Hot Rinse, Cold Rinse & Alum Wash
Blue Stratos

Bowl Lathered
Two Pass - With & Cross the Grain

Fun building up the lather carefully for a really satisfying shave. The menthol is by no means a burn, nor does it really build up - it simply has a subtle character which keeps reminding you that it's there, simply a good soap with an unintrusive character.

Now, out to stab friends in the chest for the evening ...
