Greetings
Saturday 31st August 2013
Prep: Shower
Razor: GEM OCMM
Blade: GEM Stainless Coated
Brush: Semogue 620 Boar
Soap: Speick Stick grated into a container
Aftershave: Astral Cream (light)
After a false start with a duff blade, a wonderful close shave, after yesterdays ultra mild shave the OCMM really proved itself as the 'King' of safety razors.
Regarding yesterdays shave with the Contour II, GEM's last and mildest shaving razor, although I had a good shave at the time my 5 O'clock shadow appeared at 2 pm!
Regards
Dick.
P.S. York Neil if you are reading this your mailbox is full, my PM to you bounced back!

Arran Aromatics post shave balm
Old Spice AS
Arran Aromatics EDT (couple of hours after shave)
Nice clean shave, but I am not too sure on the post shave balm yet. Smells nice but doesn't really feel like it is doing too much for the skin. But then it is the first time for the Mama Bear's so it could be that as well.
All in all a good shave.

Saturday:
Afternoon, everybody.
Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: iKon OC
Blade: Sputnik (1)
Brush: The Soap Shed Super Badger
Shave cream: Erasmic
A/S: Ice Dive
Cologne: Bath House Cuban Cedar and Lime
Very good start to the new shave week. The iKon feels always feels so mild on my face that I'm tempted to go over the skin many times (I don't), but I finished with an accidental BBS and no irritation.

Gillette Guard
Imperial Leather shaving stick grated into a bowl with leather fragrance oil added
Groomed balm (lovely cooling sensation)
Edwin Jagger boar
Nice shave (my first with a Gillette Guard). There was only twenty hours of stubble but it cut through it easily although I didn't get bbs. I'm optimistic this razor will be worth keeping.

Very pleasant overall... and left me with a very fresh Saturday afternoon feeling (???)
If I hadn't been a touch heavy-handed on my lower neck this shave could have been one of the greats. Golden rule: can't go directly AGT on the lower neck... but every now and then I have to try!
