Greetings
Saturday 9th August 2014
Prep: Shower
Razor: Joseph Elliot 6/8ths
Brush: Semogue OC SE 2012 Mixed
Soap: Klar Kabinett
Aftershave: Givenchy Gentleman
A much better shave altogether, close on the neck cheeks and upper lip, moderate on the chin. I feel rather smug as I tried again using my left hand this morning with partial success, I have little doubt that if I can master using both hands it will be a big advantage and save trying to perform such difficult 'acrobatics'.
One very tiny nick, insignificant really, I really feel I have made a little bit of progress this morning.
Regards
Dick.

Can a Mod. help please we have a double shave of the day header for this week, I have tried deleting mine but it will not allow me to do so, if mine can be deleted please I will add my post later to barlines thread.
Thanks
Dick.

Pre: Bulldog face-wash, hot flannel x 3, splash of warm water.
Shave: Proraso Red, Vulfix "Grosvenor" bodger, unidentified 5/8" Sheffield straight (possibly a Joseph Allen & Sons - whoever restored and re-scaled this was a little over zealous with the cleaning, methinks! No matter, it's still a lovely little shaver).
Post: Alum, 15 minute wait, shower, witch hazel gel, Dior Homme Sport - birthday present from wifey...
... happy Saturday, everyone!
