Winn Dixie branded blade
Superdrug Sierran Breeze a/s

Very good indeed. Started off with an open comb New but didn't feel quite right. Not in the best of moods so after half a pass chucked it in the fb and very impressed. Partial BBS.

No markings on the blade except the arrows indicating which way to slide them from the dispenser.

Evening, all.

Sunday:

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: Yuma, shimmed
Blade: Astra SP (2)
Brush: Vulfix Grosvenor Bodger
Shave cream: Ingram
A/S: Old Spice Champion
Cologne: Acqua di Parma Colonia

A bit of irritation near the Adam's apple which I haven't seen in a while. Still, it didn't last and I've felt cool and fresh throughout this warm Sunday.
 
SUNDAY EVENING

Prep: Cold rinse
Razor: Kai Excelia \ Gillette Parat
Blade: Feather Proguard (5) \ Feather (3)
Brush: Semogue OC boar
Soap: KK & Palmolive superlather - suribachi lathered
Post: Witch hazel and T&H No 10 balm

Two WTG passes with the kamisori, one ATG pass with the Parat and a bit of buffing has given a lovely smooth shave with no claret. Huzzah!

Amazing the difference a really good soap\lather makes. The suribachi and boar is almost foolproof.

And tonight is definitely a night for cold water shaving.

sunday eveing

hot flannel and face wash
NSS soft lavender
fatip piccolo
lab blue 3rd shave
nivia asb
t+h sandlewood edt

another excellent shave with the piccolo, bbs with 2 passes and a touch up where the beard growth is at a funny angle to the rest. i'm thinking that this razor is excellent especially with half a weeks growth. the lab blue is still performing well in the razor, when it comes time for a blade change i think a 7oc yellow will be next in line.

Speick (Soap of the week)
Krampert's Finest Bay Rum

Second try with the slant and it really came into its own. I was away at the weekend and just didn't shave, so I had 2+ days stubble. The slant decimated it in 2 extremely smooth passes.

I'm liking this razor more and more.
 
Prep: Hot Towel
Razor: Merkur 34G HD
Blade: Astra SP (3)
Brush: Men-U
Cream: Arko
Aftershave: Superdrug Forest Fresh
A/S Balm: Gillette

Another good shave with the Astra SP, still not BBS but getting better all the time. Bowl lathered the Arko and wasn't that impressed with the lather compared to rubbing the stick on my face and face lathering.
