Tried out the Proraso shave cream... intending to use it for holidays. The menthol is a bit subdued compared to the pre-shave, but it's great for hot weather, leaves a very pleasant cool feeling. Overall... nice shave.

This afternoon:

Prep: Cold shower
Razor: Dovo 5/8" "best quality"
Brush: Simpson Tulip T2 in two-band Super
Soap: Proraso green

It is now 25.8° in my bedroom. This is not why I moved to the West Pennine Moors.
 
Friday:

La Toja cream
Vulfix 660
#15 Aristocrat
Voskhod
Indian Old Spice
D R Harris Windsor EdT

Top shave that was made slightly more difficult by the setup in the bathroom. I'm visiting my parents and the sink in the bathroom I was using is massive and set in a big bench, consequently I seemed to be miles away from the mirror. Still, my dear mother made me breakfast this morning, so I'll take the rough with the smooth! :)
 
Friday morning

Gillette face wash
Proraso pre
New forest 1901 brush
Palmolive stick, face lathered
Merkur progress @5
Astra stainless
Alum and witch hazel gel
Gold after shave

Turned the progress up to 5 to try and ge a better result, but didnt! He best I can say about this is that's have had a good exfoliation, bit sore but I am sure a little balm after will sort it out!
 
Prep face wash L'Occitane vetiver soap
Razor Feather DX - AC
Blade Feather Pro
Brush Bill Jack Le Tuft 59 in buckeyed burl
Cella crema da barba
Alum & Thayers toner
Kiehl's aftershave balm
Kiehl's original musk blend No 1 Edt




There's nothing much to say about the Feather DX, you know every time you use this razor what kind of shave you are going to get top draw especially using the Feather Pro blades, so easy to use such a smooth delivery, pretty much faultless shaver.​

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage rebranded Simpsons best
'Webly'/Feather
Klar Kabinett SS
Neutrogena oil free moisture
Malizia 'Vetyver' EdT

This rose scented soap is really a nice product and when used with the frankenrazor/blade combo it's tough to beat. The Feather matches up perfectly with the Stahly head.

BBS results,

Martin
