S.O.T.D. Saturday 7th - Friday 13th March 2015, incl.

Prep: Hot Shower
Pre: Murdock Avalon oil
Soap: Grandstaff - Illipe & Cocoa Butter
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Brush: Muhle 23mm Kosmo synthetic
Razor: Merkur Progress @2, 1.5, 1.5
Blade: Sputnik (2)
After: Floid Black AS, Bluebeard's Revenge ASB

My favourite soap this morning, it's got a kind of masculine cocoa/chocolate scent. Great stuff.
My Progress's raincoat seems to dry out by the time I used it the next day, so I might not need to fill it with silicone afterall.

Lovely shave with the Tech, very smooth blade the Astor. A very easy ATG pass too, not many razors allow and ATG for me....​

Pre wash- Neutrogena Glyc soap
Victoria P/B Brush
La Toja Cream
ER Streamline
Gem S/S [ 6 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse off

Even on blade use 6,the Streamline [ for me ] with some work delivers perhaps this weeks best shave, using different razors.

That's a fine looking handle you've got there, Lee. It matches really well with the Tech head. Is it wider in the middle than the ends? I can't quite tell from the photo.
I take it that it is one your Dad made?

Cheers, yeah it's one my dad made, the other I pinched off him is going to a new home before I even tried it!
The handle is slim at about 10mm and straight. I'm sure there could be variations in thickness if required though ;)
It is nice and grippy too considering it is polished. I think I need some new heads to go with the variety of handles I can choose from! [emoji15]

Still taking the rough edges off my face but great shave for a great day! :icon_cheesygrin:
