Prep: Hot shower, Dove Men+Care Revitalising Face Wash
Pre: Cold water splash, Proraso Crema Pre Barba Green
Brush: Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger Ivory Beehive
Cream: Erasmic Lather Shave Cream
Razor: ATT Atlas R2 Open Comb
Blade: Sputnik #1
Post: Kiehl's Blue Herbal Astringent, Kiehl's Ultimate Men's ASB

Result: Had been looking forward to the Atlas and it hasn't disappointed. Just two passes for a very close, smooth shave. Splendid. Feels wonderful in the hand and I even like the short handle, it somehow feels right.

All the best, gentlemen.

The Tube Key. Crabtree & Evelyn sell them for £2 and also gratis with a tube of cream. Great little gadget
 
Prep: Shower, Boots Face Wash
Razor: Rocket HD
Blade: Gillette Rubie
Brush: Muhle Synthetic Gen 4
Soap: Mama Bear's Dragon Blood
AS: Proraso
AB: Nivea

I'm not sure what to make of the Rubie blade, it seemed to tug a little bit did provide a decent shave overall.

I returned to a couple of old standards post shave today as my skin has been really sensitive recently and my neck has quite a bad rash.

Cheers

Very smooth shave today. Surprised by how soft the 'best' hair is in a Simpsons brush. One of my best BST purchases so far. The Personna blades are also creeping towards being my favourite blades.

Falling out of love with the EJ? My preference may just be creeping toward vintage Gillettes especially TTOs like the Rocket HD & #58. Fat Tech and New as well. Poor results, especially on the right side of my neck which felt fine at shaving time but later developed good old-fashioned razor rash. Should've used an alcohol splash before the balm anyway - I know my skin and that's what works best but I thought a wee change might work. Now I know why I hate change.....:mad:

Fancy a trying Stahly head on an old ball end handle I have. Could be be good.
