Wednesday xvi1 July, 2013

Prep: Shower, Dove Men+Care Sensitive Face Wash
Pre: Cold water splash
Brush: Invisible Edge Custom Black Horn Silvertip
Soap: Sir Irisch Moos Shave Stick
Razor: Merkur "Digress" HD
Blade: Polsilver Stainless #3
Post: Liz Earle ASB
Fragrance: Penhaligon's Endymion EdC

Result: Day 2 of the Digress HD and the same results. Two passes on #3, one pass on #1 and so smooth. I'm close to pulling the trigger on a second of these pieces for travelling as I'm generally in a hotel three or four nights a week and have a dedicated shaving travel kit.

A fantastic shave and a very smooth finish, after I had taken a few razors back to the stones including this one for a little freshening up after a good many months of use, I gave several of them the pyramid on my Naniwa 5K and 8K, then finish on my 12K then linen suede and leather, they gave up extremely smooth edges on the three I've tried so far, I think I'm going to stick with this method from now on as I very much like the feel and the shave I received from the razor.

Afternoon, everybody.

Wednesday:

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: EJ DE89 with iKon Bulldog handle
Blade: Personna Lab (5)
Brush: Wilkinson Sword
Shave cream: My Time Cream Soap - super mentholated
A/S: Bowling Green
Cologne: Bowling Green

Very good, irritation free shave. I found a tub of this artisan soft soap that I'd completely forgotten about. It came from the U.S. (the website no longer exists) and you could specify how mentholated you wanted it. I asked the nice lady to turn it up to eleven. It's good in that it froze my face most effectively; but it was difficult to see what I was doing doing through all the tears I was shedding.
 
Warm shower
Proraso pre, menthol
Omega 10219, MWF
Merkur Progress, Permasharp (2)
Cold splash, alum block
Clinique post-shave healer

Very close shave today. The Omega brush and MWF is a marriage made in heaven
