Prep: hot wash with dove soap:
Soap: Proraso Green tub.
Brush: Parker CHST silver tip badger.
Bowl: TSR hand crafted shaving bowl.
Razor: Razorock Jaws.
Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux #4
Post: Proraso Green menthol.

Woke up this morning with a sore throat and upset stomach, my back feels like I have been kicked by a horse and my wrist is still in it's splint cause of acute pain. A combo of pain meds, tyrozettes and Bicarbonate of soda have taken the edge off things long enough to try and shave.

3 passes WTG, XTG and AGT but honestly I was not concentrating very well and whilst my stubble has all but gone, I scraped it off rather than clean cut, some irritation and nicks resulted. Going to grab a coffee and watch some TV.

Have a good day folks.

Great shave. I think the edge is starting to fade finally on this blade. It's lasted a lot longer than any other injector blade except maybe the P74.

got to 10! little bit tuggy but not so much as to put me off going for more! Great soap - we're in for a treat when Darron returns with his hardsoap.
 
My first shave with the restored 400-3 AND my first time with a badger knot...

..it was fantastic :)

The Grade A Silvertip has plenty of backbone and face lathering was a breeze.
I am really loving this brush! :)

Hot Rinse, Cold Rinse & Alum Wash

Wow! That is refreshing! Refreshing like a whole pack of Trebor Extra Strong followed by a pack of Fisherman's Friends! It's a triple whammy of crystal menthol, eucalyptus and peppermint.

As with Meißner Tremonia's other soft soaps, loading is a snap without overloading, lathering is a snap either in the bowl or on the face, in-shave performance just divine, wash off easy and post-shave feel just wonderful.

But this chill! Boy, oh boy, it's cold ... and keeps building!

I really enjoyed my Durham Duplex shave yesterday, so picked another favourite from the somewhat extensive and quite comprehensive collection that I have. I think this is technically a trimmer from the later years, but with the long comb put on it works really well as a Kamisori style razor.

As yesterday, one shave down, one shave up and we're done ... regrowth will be soft and smooth like today's. Love 'em!!!
 
Soap: Seifenglatt Savon a Raser - Frankincense and Myrrh
Brush: Edwin Jagger synthetic XL
Razor: Merkur 37c
Blade: Polsilver

Excellent. I'm liking this soap a lot, it's the same company that makes the Kramperts Bay Rum, which was a brilliant soap and the best Bay Rum I've ever smelt and also unfortunately caused irritation to my skin. I might be sensitive to this soap too but I'll need to use it for a few more days before I'll know for sure. Other than that, a damn fine shave. Every time I use the 37c it impresses me with how it shaves my neck and easily clears the multi-directional growth around my Adam's Apple.

Another very good and close result in a week of actual or near-BBS's from a disposable I found in every 100 yen store I explored in Japan. Definitely going to stock up the next time I'm out there.
