A couple if first for my shave of the day today.
Body shave first attempt went really well and only one cut. Feels really nice, used ESC natural shave cream, muhle R106 and personna blade.
Face shave first time using a scuttle, well first time not face lathering and it was so much better to achieve a lush lather. Scuttle by steve woods ceramics, large tall. Shave cream was ESC citrus kiss. First time using a fatboy and the weight and handle were superb, Gillette 7 o'clock platinum blade. ESC citrus kiss balm to finish.
Really enjoyable day and great having a wee experiment with new kit.

Hi, I am thinking of buying some meißner soaps or paste and wondered if they were good. Do you have any of the other flavour? Thanks, Roy

Merkur 39C (Sledge Hammer).
Shark Super Blade.
Proraso Brush.
TOBS Peppermint Shaving Cream.
Myrsol Formula K.
Fantastic BBS shave! First use of a Shark but performed very smooth. Merkur 39C is a fantastic razor and always gives a irritation free shave no matter what blade is in it, buy one!

Pre: Lucky Tiger face wash, EJ Pre-Shave cream.
Shaving: EJ DE89, Shark blade, Palmolive Shaving Stick, EJ Best Badger brush (unsure of model)

Not too bad a shave, only two pass with the grain though. Have some acne under my cheek and against the grain will make it worse. Should have left it for an extra day to clean up but I was looking messy.
The bearglove was okay, first time trying it. Was given to me as a pressent, would have preferred the original scent (savers have it at £5.99). Scent actually lasts a few hours on me which is surprising, I expected it to only hang around for thirty or so minutes.
