Tuesday:
Morning, all.
Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: Rimei with EJ DE89 handle
Blade: Super Max SS (4)
Brush: Ecotools kabuki
Shave soap: TSD Vetiver
A/S: Addiction, Fever
Cologne: Vetyver- the Perfume Parlour version of Creed Vetiver
A good, very close shave. It's great when such basic hardware delivers the goods.
The shave soap is a lovely smoky vetiver and the cologne a fresh, fizzy vetiver. I haven't smelt the real Creed Vetiver, but I'm very pleased with the scent.

Prep : Clinique face soap and scruff
Razor : Ikon Deluxe OC
Blade : Astra SP
Brush : C&E Super Badger
Soap : Proraso green tub
Splash : Old Spice Wihitewater
EDT : Adidas Ice Dive
Nice shave, no problems. Trying to sort my chin out a bit as I seems to be getting a few white headed spots which I'm then taking off with the next shave so experimenting with doing something a bit different with my passes around my chin. Not sure todays worked (ditched the XTG to another ATG as I seem to be doing most damage on the XG. tomorrow 2 WTG instead)

Warm shower
Hot flannel
DR Harris Arlington cream bowl lathered
Simpson POLO 10 best badger brush
Gillette 1930's NEW deluxe
Voskhod (1)
Cold rinse
Thayer's lavender witch hazel
DR Harris Arlington aftershave
Today I tried a Voskhod in the open comb for a change. I normally stick to Sputniks in the open combs. I will use a Sputnik in this NEW deluxe razor in a day or two when the Voskhod gets changed. I will have a comparison then as both are Teflon coated. Todays shave was good no irritation.

Muhle Silvertip Fibre, v1
Palmolive Classic stick
Lucky Tiger Face Tonic
It'll do. The software isn't the problem - it's the razor and/or user error.
If I think the v1 Generation 3.5 knot is smashing, I really ought try the Muhle v2 - quite likely the 21mm knot.

Warm shower
Proraso pre, menthol
Omega 11137, Nanny's hard soap - Cedarwood & Vetyver
Gillette Tech/Weber Bulldog handle, Polsilver SI (3)
Cold splash
Clinique post-shave soother
Gucci Guilty Intense EDT
Awesome shave. Two passes and minimal touch-ups... smooth with zero irritation. The Tech/Bulldog beats the pants off my ATT M1 (which has now been cleaned up ready for the pre-Christmas BST frenzy). I could use the Tech as my "go-to" but life would be very boring without the Progress, the Weber polished and the AS-D2
