Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso pre-shave (sensitive)
Soap: La Toja stick (soap of the week)
Brush: Traditional Shaving Co.
Razor: Gillette Slim Adj (@7,7,6)
Blade: Personna Platinum (2)
After: Alum, Superdrug Forest Fresh AS, Limes Skin Food
La Toja Soap Week Day 2
Lather was much better than yesterday's sorry attempt. This time got more of the soap on my face and spent a little longer face-lathering and was rewarded with enough for three passes.
Adjusted the Slim down to 6 on the last pass but now think I should've left it at 7 which always seems to give good results.
Today's results: DFS but need to do better on the chin.

This morning:
Prep: Thirty second shower and cold rinse
Razor: Kropp 6/8" in marble resin, restored by UKRob
Brush: Neep #1033 soapstone ball and bobbin 24mm high mountain badger
Soap: Nanny's Ice & Slice (soft)
Continuing my experiment in loading half as long, lather-building half as long, and doing just two passes. Another very good and crisply mentholed shave.

Bic 1 Sensitive disposable
Semogue SOC boar
Vito's Extra Super Coconut
Proraso Aftershave lotion
Diptyque Tam Dao edt
A particularly rapid shave today - hence using a disposable. It does more than an adequate job.

Fatboy on 5 with Rapira Swedish Super Shexy
Henk walnut silvertip
Floid the Genuine a/s
Great shave. I'm not sure if it's the Spanish or Italian version so I may just have to buy both when it runs out!

TUESDAY EVENING
Prep: Cold rinse
Soap: Nanny's French Lavender - facelathered
Brush: Simpson Duke 3 butterscotch in best
Razor: 7 o'clock head, UFO Red Kong handle
Blade: Rapira (2)
Post: Witch hazel, Bulldog balm
Face has been feeling a bit sore today. It may well have been the butterfly kisses from the Old type yesterday.
If I could only have one razor for the rest of my life I think it would have to be a long tooth New OC of some description. They just fit me like a glove.

Wednesday:
RazoRock XXX
NF Tubby 2
Aristocrat Junior
Rapira Platinum Lux
Witch Hazel
Barbershop Bay Rum
A good shave. I didn't find the Platinum Lux as smooth as the Rapira Swedish Supersteel or Voskhod I've used recently, I'm enjoying this Russian blade experience though.
