Saturday

Afternoon, everyone.

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: EJ DE89
Blade: Laser Ultra (1)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave soap: Wickham Hardsoap sample, Coconut
Aftershave: Old Spice Whitewater
Cologne: Mama Bear's GIT clone

Although the blade from Wilko is far from the best in my stash, I had a really good, smooth shave thanks, I think, to the excellent properties of the soap.

ebony brush by Brian
Schick F type injector/Gillette Platinum Plus (NOS)
Dr Dittmar Spezial Raiserseife
Myrsol Emulsion
Dior 'Eau Sauvage' pour homme cologne (vintage juice)

Saw this soap in the arsenal and was amazed I hadn't used it in so long. For those of you who liked the Moos, this stuff is worth checking out. Very good performance with a Moos like scent. Two soaps in the box.

Great shave with the injector/blade combo. Perfect, actually.

BBS results,

Martin
