Friday

Afternoon, everyone.

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: Yuma
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (7)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave soap: Arko stick
Aftershave: Homemade Kölnisch Wasser splash
Cologne: Acqua di Parma Colonia

The end of a week of excellent close shaves. The Yuma's just a little cheap thing but always gives good results, and paired with the Silver Blue gives as good a shave as you could ask for.

Finally got the knack of face lathering the Prosraso, now I understand why it's so highly rated.
A lovely shave from the Merkur, it is a great razor.

Wickham Soap Company Super Smooth South Sea Spray
Kent Infinity Silvertex
GEM Contour - Feather Hi-Stainless Platinum SE [4]
Hot Rinse, Cold Rinse & Alum Wash
Denim Aftershave

Bowl Lathered
Two Pass - WTG & XTG

Finishing off this Feather blade with another mild razor - the GEM Contour. It worked very well, seeing off a day's growth.
 
Vintage English Wilkinson Sword (2)
Progress on 2.5, 1.5
Kent Infinity Silvertex
Professor Blighty's Grapewood shaving soap
Home made vetiver witch hazel aftershave

Nearly used up my first soap. Probably all be gone by the end of next week. Just got to get through another forty-odd excluding a few NOS which I'll probably keep indefinitely.
Probably.
 
Wrights coal tar soap
Myrsol Emulsion
Omega 49
TOBS Almond
Eclipse Red Ring
GSB (1)
Myrsol Balsamica

Interesting razor shaves well but a touch mild. I think I like the Balsamica. Strange scent can't think of what it reminds me of like something you had put on bruises when I was younger?
