TUESDAY MORNING

Pre: Hot rinse, Aleppo soap
Soap: Nannys Cedarwood and Vetyver hard soap
Brush: Coates Fitzwilliam
Razor: Cobra Classic
Blade: Feather Professional
Post: Witch hazel, Proraso balm

Quick WTG and ATG passes before I go to the dentist (appointment at two thirty - arf, arf).

Am now trying to stem the weepers before I go! These blades only get really comfortable for me after about 8 shaves, then they're good for between 20 and 30 shaves.

I enjoyed last night's shave so much, I thought I'd make a sort of repeat ...

Hot Towel
NSS Ice & Slice - Pure Badger
Merkur 37C Slant - Gillette Thai Super Thin [2]
Hot Rinse & Cold Rinse
Blue Stratos Aftershave

Face Lathered
One Pass

Again, the Gillette Super Thin performed. Yesterday, I mused that if I could get a perfectly acceptable shave in one pass, removing a day's growth, with a mild razor then a slant would be just that, but more so ... and it was.

Perfect shave!

Again, single pass and just a rinse off and aftershave.
