pre : hot water
shaving soap: Proraso Red
Brush: Simpsons Capitan 2 best
razor: Rockwell 6s #6 - treet dura sharp #1
after shave: Myrsol f./extra
 
Razor: Trac II
Blade: Col. Conk Trac II (1)
Brush: Brass handle w/ Black Badger?
Soap: Captain's Choice Sandalwood
Aftershave: Captain's Choice Sandalwood

Now for something completely different. :) Picked up this razor and brush in a wooden box for $13.00. I don't know anything about them, but if I buy it I use it. The handle on the brush is very heavy and I believe it is brass. The knot is floppy and prickle. I believe it is a black badger. I did end up with a good shave.

Very nice indeed.
 
Sat 11th March

Omega 11137 boar
Lea Classic soap
PAL Injecto-Matic
Schick S/S single [ 10- Japan]
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Lea Classic A/S lotion

A very successful pairing of Razor/blade has enabled me to have 10 very good shaves, the blade converts the normally aggressive razor, into a really smooth performer. Find it hard to believe that on its 10th outing I got a super close all round shave, and there still feels life left in the blade. Will rest it for a couple of days before going on with it.

After much running around today finally got to have my shave.
Parker with the shark #2
2nd outing for the Kent brush
Proraso eucalyptus and menthol.
No blood loss with the shark on its second outing, and after washing the brush out with washing up liquid neither the proraso or brush smelt like wet dog!
Have a good Sat night chaps.
