This one for Fido,

Razor: Tech 1973 aluminium
Blade: Feather (2)
Brush: Omega 20102
Shaving Cream: TOBS JS
EDT: X-Bolt
Moisturiser: Arko Nem olive

Well this combo is simply superb, with my face the tech is too mild for most blades but with the Feather you can hear the archangels singing hallelujah!

The shave doesn't last as long as the finish from the R41 but in the first few hours I personally can't tell the difference. So here you have it the Japanese face shredder when mated to a gentle British-American razor is probably all you ever need however mating with the German barbarian R41 and my face is like a world war.

Bulldog Face Wash
Bulldog Shave Gel
Gillette Techmatic (1966 L1)
Hot Rinse & Cold Rinse
Pinaud Clubman Aftershave

Brushless
Two Pass - WTG & XTG

Another champion shave from this Techmatic. I'm on the final rotation in this cartridge, so hoping for another couple of shaves yet.

Enjoying the Bulldog Shave Gel - it's brushless, cooling, gentle scent and just right for these cartridge shaves, albeit this, the first of the cartridges.

Enjoyed!
 
Gillette Tech
Personna Med Prep
Thäter 4125/1 2B
Nanny's Signature
Lucky Tiger

A lovely, gentle shave. I'm definitely getting the grape from Nanny's. A great soap - I could do with finding a method to work a little extra slip from it. I have been running Martin de Candre and a stick of Speick in recent weeks, so it's having to fight hard to impress. I'll try a wetter brush tomorrow and go for the Thäter 3-band.
