Clinique Post-Shave Healer, Clinique M-Lotion

Nice enough shave, but MWF lather has a tendency to dry out for me before I can finish a full pass.
 
Probably one of the best shaves I've ever had today. My first ever use of a feather blade too! I loved it. No irritation whatsoever and nearly a smooth as possible. Perhaps it's right that no pressure, a mild razor and a sharp blade really is a match made in heaven.

Blade - feather
Soap - palmolive stick in a bowl
Brush - Edwin jagger best
Pre and post - dove soap bar and simple moisturiser

Have a great Sunday evening guys

Today's shave

Ikon OC deluxe
Wilkinson sword blade
Kent BK12 brush
Nanny's Arabian nights
Old Spice whitewater aftershave splash

3 days of beard due to my Baja build :D:D

Result BSS WTG
 
T&H No 10 cream, face lathered
TOBS pure badger travel brush
Merkur 15c
BIC Chrome Platinum
Personna Lab Blue
Witch hazel
Pinaud Clubman Musk

The BIC blade was shocking. Binned by the time I had reached the jaw line after about 5 strokes. Horrible rasping sound and no good for me. Felt like I was shaving with a hedgehog. I don't have the time or inclination to fanny about with a blade that I don't like. I've got plenty others to do the job properly. Changed to the Lab Blue and rescued the shave

Bulldog Face Wash
Rose of Bulgaria Shaving Cream
Kent Infinity Silvertex
Merkur 38C Slant
Gillette Silver Blue [2]
Hot Rinse, Cold Rinse & Alum Wash
Rose of Bulgaria Aftershave

Two Pass - WTG & XTG ... is that a four pass with a slant?

What a great choice! Coming off a couple of straight edge shaves, nothing like a classic Gillette blade and a wonky Merkur razor!
 
Frank Shaving Silvertip
Weber Bulldog
Personna Lab Blue [2]
Ingrams bowl lathered
Alum
Nivea Moisturiser
Cracking shave, the Ingrams, although watery, whipped up beautifully with the silvertip [what a cracking brush this is], I pushed the Weber/Lab a little too much and got a couple weepers, but still a great shave.
