TUESDAY EVENING

Pre: Hot Flannel
Brush: Semogue OC 2011 LE
Soap: Wickham Sea Spray soft soap - bowl lathered
Razor: Ever Ready shovel head
Blade: Vintage Gem
Post: Witch hazel then GFT balm

A very nice shave. I can see why Darron's soap gets such good reviews. Really easy to lather and plenty of slip and cushion.

Razor: Aristocrat #66
Blade: Rapira Super Stainless (2)
Brush: Gecko Stumpy 2-Band
Soap: MWF

This razor needs a sharper blade to get through 2 day's worth of stubble, it was a bit of a struggle...I'll try a sharper blade in it next before i write it off as an everyday only razor.
