I decided that the sensible thing to do this morning was to have an extra hour in bed! Needless to say it messed with my morning routine a bit, still two very quick passes and I was done. From bed to out the door in 20 minutes. I'm at work now and I'm still not sure I'm fully awake, shave was nice though.

Good morning. I tried something different today, I after my shower I popped on the pre-shave oil and went for my morning espresso as recommended by Bechet45 in another thread. I can't say if it made much difference but I enjoyed the the citrusy scent with the coffee. The shave was excellent, I am liking T&H more and more, apart from a few sample EdTs I used all my T&H products.
I not sure which EdT to go for today, we're having an extended family get together this afternoon to celebrate my Gran's 90th today, I'll decide nearer the time.

Friday afternoon

Prep: Hot Shower

Brush: SoC Boar

Blade: GSB (1)

Razor: ATT R2 on Weber Bulldog

Cream/Soap: MWF

Aftershave: Pitralon Swiss

EDT: Prada Amber

First time with ATT R2. Felt the M1 I borrowed was to mild, and the R2 was good but not for every day as it was ever so slightly irritating.

Having read reviews here and elsewhere, I bought an R1 and top plate pre owned, and an R2 plate also pre owned. I already have an Atlas handle from a previous trade.

The R2 (so far) feels to be an in-between plate, more aggressive than an M1, more comfortable than an R1.

I feel an extended trial is needed (good DFS) today. So far so good!

Thanks to the Gentlemen who sold me the items mentioned, and Al-H for his enabling prowess!
