Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso pre-shave - sensitive
Soap: Stirling Earl Grey
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Brush: MÜHLE Kosmo silvertip synthetic
Razor: Weber polished + Bulldog
Blade: Rapira (3)
After: Old Spice AS, Coral Skin Food
After yesterday's success with Stirling I thought I'd continue with another flavour, Earl Grey. Although the lather is the same unfortunately there's practically no scent, which is a shame.
Shave didn't feel as comfortable as yesterday I think because the blade has reached the end of its life. Even so, results were great. Weber back on par with ATT R2 again, so it's still too close to call which is better.
Enjoy your Sunday, folks.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage butterscotch rebranded Simpsons best
Webly/Wilkinson Light Brigade (NOS)
TGQ Leatherneck SS (last of it, sad to say)
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
TGQ 'Leatherneck' extrait ( a few squirts worth left in the bottle)
Really nice old blade.....one I could easily use every day if needed. There's a few old Wilkinson versions that are still excellent, even after being made 40-50 years ago.
Got my final shave with this soap that I'd been carefully using for the last couple years. Yep, it's extinct, which is a real shame. This woman (Colleen) really knew how to tickle my hot buttons when it came to shaving soaps. Amazing fragrances and wonderful performers. By far my favorite small vendor, plus a great person to know. She is world famous over at SRP. I had one more shave's worth left in the bowl and now it's gone. Oh well.
BBS results,
Martin

Unusual, for me, consecutive day shave. Thought I'd try a quick 1 pass ATG. Blade (3) may have been past it admittedly, but the 1 ATG pass didn't cut the mustard. Ended up with so much touching up it was equivalent to 3 passes on my neck, 2 pass on my face. Still managed to leave a small rough patch on my chin. I think a 2 pass WTG then XTG is a better bet for me for shaving consecutive days, and settle for DFS. Yeh, still prefer my every other day approach for a comfortable BBS.
