S.O.T.D. w/c Saturday 25th - Friday 31st January 2014, incl.

Tuesday

Morning, all.

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: Sodial/Rimei
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue 43)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave cream: RSC
Aftershave: M&S Wood Spice

Easy, smooth shave.
 
Tuesday

Fitjar Neroli cream
NF Tubby 2
Streamline
Gem blade
Alum
DR Harris Windsor AS

A very nice three pass shave. Unusually for me I reached for the alum post-shave, I stopped using it because I didn't like the way it made my face feel, its use this morning reminded me that indeed I don't like it. Worth trying out agin though. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
 
Razor: Standard Razors black model.
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1).
Brush: Simpson's TSN LE P8.
Pre: Myrsol Emulsion.
Cream: D. R. Harris Windsor.
Aftershave: D. R. Harris Windsor.
Aftershave balm: D. R. Harris Windsor.
EdT: D. R. Harris Windsor.

I swirled the cream with my brush and I can see the bottom of the tub, I'm not sure if that is a good or a bad thing. The Standard Razors razor is quite mild but very good, it's a shame they've made it ultimately not very standard and a nice after market handle is out of the question. The handle uses an M3.5 or M4 male thread or maybe the imperial equivalent, giving that the company is American.

Good shave but first time I have had any weepers, maybe too aggressive with 2 shims.
Back to Merkur 1904 I think will try with 1 shim later.

Excellent shave. The Salter cream is really excellent, great lather and glide and skin feels excellent afterwards. Great finish from the Aqua Velva as well.
