Men-u tea tree facial wash,
Good Morning Prep pre-shave cream,
Palmolive stick, grated and bowl-lathered,
Omega 'Paintbrush',
Merkur 34HD with Feather,
Superdrug witchazel,
Blue Stratos AS.


No matter how many different creams and soaps I currently own, when they're all finished, I'll keep going back to Palmolive sticks. No matter how costly some of the others can be, quality shouldn't always be at a premium, and this proves that it can be had for less than fifty pence! And I completely love this brush too, an absolute monster of a thing!

Second day of cold shaving as I was in a rush again. Good results but not pleasant when it's cooler. Cold water dripping onto my chest when I'm feeling a bit nippy is not luxurious.

There was a thread about these blades the other day so I dug out the last couple in my stash. They're not bad, will be be interesting to see how they last (tonight was the first shave).
