Trumpers product of the week shave 2.
Confiança Veleiro pre-shave soap
Hot flannel prep
Proraso eucalyptus & menthol pre/post
Trumpers Spanish Leather cream, face-lathered, with water-softening as previously
Muhle Silvertip Fibre v2.0 23 mm knot
Gillette long-comb NEW
Ladas Stainless (don't know how many shaves it's had)
Trumpers Spanish Leather AS
Trumpers Spanish Leather Cologne
2 passes, SAS/DFS result.
Due to circumstances, I've had to resort to tidying-up with my electric shaver since my first Trumpers week shave (I know:blush
, but I was finally able to have a proper shave, albeit not going for my usual 3-pass-plus-touch-ups routine, instead accepting a decent shave instead of an ultra-close one. Thanks to using all three Spanish Leather products, I'm now enveloped in that lovely aroma as I sit here at my desk.

Warm shower
Hot flannel
TOBS Rose cream bowl lathered
Simpson Rover best badger brush
Gillette 1930's NEW deluxe
Voskhod (3)
Cold rinse
Thayer's lavender witch hazel
Myrsol F/extra aftershave
Close and comfortable shave today. The Voskhod I've changed out after my usual 3 shaves. I've loaded a fresh Sputnik blade for tomorrows shave. Both Teflon coated so I will see how the NEW deluxe fairs with a Sputnik.

Hot flannel
Proraso pre, menthol
New Forest 1901, Cella
Merkur Progress (#3), Personna Med Prep (2)
Cold splash
Clinique post-shave soother
Don't know what came over me... whacked the Progress up to DefCon 3 (that's aggressive for me) and set about me fizzog. Result... as smooth as I don't know what and I feel like I've been smacked with an oversized Polo mint.
Marvellous!

Yesterday's shave- forgot to add it!
Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: Proraso white tub- face lathered
Razor: Gillette New Long Comb
Blade: Polsilver (3)
Post: Witch Hazel, Floid Vigoroso
This brush is excellent. Second use of it, first face lathering and it's wonderful to use already, and it will only get better. The proraso was brilliant as always, and I'm really liking the NEW. 2 passes, ATG and I had a BBS shave.
