S.O.T.D Saturday 15th March to Friday 21st March 2014

Wednesday

Morning, everyone.

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: EJDE89
Blade: Super-Max Blue Diamond (4)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave soap: La Toja in a bowl
Aftershave: Ricardo L'Homme Musk
Cologne: Ricardo L'Homme Musk

No shave yesterday as the bathroom was taken over early by workmen putting a new shower in. The extra stubble meant the shave was very easy and close - an accidental BBS, in fact.
 
Prep: Proraso White
Soap: Stirling Barbershop
Razor: DLC/ UFO Red Bronze
Brush: Simpsons P8
Post: L'Occitane Baux/444

A lovely shave, been at least 6+ months since I used the Proraso pre shave cream a nice change.

Hot shower
Hot flannel
Jabonman Rosas scuttle lathered
Brush made by myself, TGN Finest badger 22mm
Gillette 1920 single ring
Gillette 7 o'clock super stainless (2)
Cold rinse
Thayers lavender witch hazel
DR Harris Pink aftershave
GFT Ajaccio Violets cologne

Decent shave the single ring isn't a daily shaver for me. I like the look and history of them but the shaves can be a little irritating to use day after day. I set up a different razor and new blade for tomorrow. The Jabonman lathered up well but the lather doesn't last too long, I know Manuel had problem with a batch of his soap. I don't know in what way it was not right ?

Dickinson & Gilroy Travel Brush
Wilkinson Sword Stick

Another "away from home shave". I might take the Blue Stratos and soap stick back with me - both are great! The soap produces excellent, creamy lather. The brush is blooming well and the performance is really good.
