Neutrogena Glyc Bar
Vulfix 404 mixed
Proraso Green Cream
ER 1912 [ USA origin ]
Gem/ Personna from USA [ 2 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse Off
Woods of Windsor A/S Balm

MMOC V Other SE [ER & Gem ]
In the main have been comparing MMOC with ER 1914/24/ Streamline & Later Gems.

Today went for a 1912,after good shave with MMOC yesterday,which was a bit fierce-
this Shave was really good and comfortable, and equalled the the closeness achieved
with the MMOC.

No wonder the 1912 is loved by many.
 
Schick Krona DE
Rapira Platinum Lux (3)
Whipped Dog 24mm synthetic brush
TFS Zagara e Gelsomino soap
Pitralon Classic AS

The Rapira Platinum Lux blade amazes me. Dirt cheap (at least due to the current Ruble exchange rate), and I already got three smooth shaves from that blade. I wonder how long it will last (at least 5 shaves, is my guess). My only regret is that I should have bought 1000 instead of 200 blades ;)
 
Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Simpson Polo 8
Razor: C V Heljestrand M K 42
Soap: Nannys
AS: Myrsol
Edt: Penhaligon's
Result: Very, very clean :D

Have a good week all!
 
Sandalwood Sunday

Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Murdock Avalon pre-shave oil
Soap: Art of Shaving - Sandalwood
Bowl: Fine Accoutrements
Brush: Vie-Long Horse Hair 13061M
Razor: Weber Bulldog
Blade: Polsilver SI (3)
After: Floid black AS, Sandalwood Skin Food

There was only two good shaves in this Polsilver blade but I used it regardless for the third time and suffered a draggy shave and finished with a little irritation as a result.
Second time use of my Fine Accoutrements lather bowl - works well, it's a little smaller than my Woodhead Pedestal so I just just need to get used to it.

Have a great Sunday Folks.
