Pre Shave: Hot Shower + L'Oreal Pure Power Face Wash and Proraso White
Razor: OneBlade Core
Blade: Feather FHS-10 (#2)
Brush: Vie Long Horse
Cream: Nivea sensitive
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers Lemon Witch Hazel
AS: Dove balm
Due to the eruption of a nice spot on my face I decided to switch back to the OneBlade Core. It was a good choice, a decent shave and I did not slice the top off my facial eruption.

Razor: Mongoose AlumiGoose w/ Hempel Ti
Blade: Feather Professional (2)
Brush: Oscar 11, w/Omega 10049 Boar
Soap: Reef Point Soap Tranquility
A/S: Maggard Razors Orange Menthol

Very fine shave today. The Maggard Razors Orange Menthol is an outstanding product. Orange Menthol is a clean, sweet orange smell with a moderate menthol kick. This scent is fragranced with 100% essential oils. Maggard Razors After Shaves are non-alcoholic splashes designed to refresh and sooth skin. They use a Witch Hazel base for its astringent properties, soothing aloe, and glycerin for its moisturizing effect.

Have not time to explain but the Caties Bubbles Purple Grapefruit was a lovely relaxing late night Lavender and grapefruit shave and the razor left me refreshed and after my bath I am now ready for bed.
Take care all and good night,
Wayne

Thursday 20th July
Bath/ Nivea Men Active Wash
BBA Shave Oil
Pre De Provence No63
RazoRock 400 Plissoft Noir
Rockwell 6c ~3
Personna Platinum 2
Lavender witch hazel
Proraso Green ASL
Joop EDT
I maybe loaded too much soap as the brush kept asking for more water but when it's thirst was quenched I was rewarded with masses of lather, way too much for my needs.
Three passes on two days growth left me very smooth indeed.
I needed a relaxing shave after working out in the rain all day around the Peak District. When it rains there, it really rains!
I like Personna blades, you know it's going to be a comfortable experience.
Looking forward to the weekend, and for the postie brining more shaving goodies!

SOTD 21st July FridayPrep....Shower~MWF Soap
Razor....1912 fitted with Windrose Z1P SS handle
Blade....Personna-Gem SS
Soap....Barrister And Mann~ Leviathan
Brush....Brad Sears~ Gonzo
Bowl....Little Wren Pottery
Post....BBA PSB, Jojoba Oil
Scent....Black Afghano (Mr Perfume)
I love the 1912 razor, it gives me fantastic shaves, close smooth shaves and without irritation, when paired with the Gem blade this combo is hard to beat and now I've replaced the handle with a longer heavier one it feels even better in use, for me.
The B&M Leviathan whipped up into a great slick lather and was applied with the super soft Gonzo , the soap has a wonderful scent and I love it, although it's one of those marmite scents you love or hate,
Post shave, I left out the Thayers and just used the BBA Balm and a while after a applied a few drops of Jojoba oil as a light moisturiser .
The scent, Black Afghano has notes of cannabis, green resins, wood, coffee, Tabacco , incense and agarwood ......very nice indeed
The weekend is nearly here, have a great Friday.......

Rather pleased that I learnt how to use certain models of Se razors using AC blades, before I used the Mongoose. Have developed a light touch which not only enables you to have a good Shave, but also avoid mishaps, I looked forward to using the Mongoose.
However,as some considered it a bit aggressive I chose to use a Schick Proline blade in it. After one use I really like it , as I got a really smooth and close Shave with no problems whatsoever. Have a feeling that it will be No 1 in my gaggle of modern Se AC type Razors.
