Morning shave.

Baxters of California Face Wash, BBA Shave Oil.
P&B Albion.
Maseto 30mm 2 Band Finest.
Wolfman Guerriilla (on loan).
Permasharp (1).
OSP Barbershop Aftershave Tonic.
BBA Post Shave Balm.

My second go with the Wolfman. It really is a lovely razor to use, but just a little on the mild side for my liking. But I was happy to settle for a DFS after 3 very comfortable passes. Hope you all have a great weekend chaps.

Wow...these personna hair shaper blades are stiff and aggressive like a wedge straigt razor. Yesterday and today I did only a pass WTG and there are no stubbles left feeling ATG on my moustache and cheeks areas. I can feel some occasional stubbles on my neck, but I had shaves also with an ATG pass using safety razors feeling the same. Only underneath my chin there are some stubbles left. No wonder I had bad skin problems using these blades also for an ATG pass in the past.
The Wickham 1912 Cashmere shaving soap got a wonderful scent.

This Saturday`s late morning shave was accompanied by Bruce Springsteen.

OSP Bay Rum
Thomas Clipper DE
Voskhod #1
26mm 2-band
BBA PS
Meißner Tremonia Bay Rum

After 8 days without a shave I paired my faithful Thomas Clipper DE with a Voskhod (my first use of one) and got to work on 8 days of, no longer stubbly, beard. The hair was lifted well with the OSP soap and really provided ample slickness and scent to guide me along my shave. I had no issues, no nicks, cuts or weepers, no irritation of any sort and no sting from the MT splash which followed a slight dribble of PSB from BBA (the good, red stuff)! Very good combo of blade and razor! Moreover I'm feeling clean again! :D Cannot wait to crack out this combo again!

Next, next, next pawb! :D
 
Greetings All,

Saturday shave (missed a shave).

One (and a bit) days' growth and warm shave

Preparation – face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)

Pre: None
Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn West Indian Lime
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Pol Silver (1st)
Brush:RazoRock 400 Noir (part bowl lathered Caractacus Pots bowl)

Post Shave: Cold water rinse, followed by a shower then Proraso aftershave lotion (red) and Nivea 2 Phase.

Two new items tried this afternoon – C&E West Indian Lime and Pol Silver Razor.

C&E – very good shaving cream, thick and creamy lather easily produced and felt very good on the skin - post shave feel was also pleasant.

Pol Silver blade – I know it's widely used and I have to say I can understand why, from stroke one very smooth blade, esasily slicing through my thick whiskers.

Overall, 3 passes (WTG and 2*XTG) leaving me smooth and very happy, ready for an afternoon of Football Focus.
 
Saturday

Olive Oil Soap
3P Preshave Cream
Erasmic Soap Stick
Zenith Boar Brush
Ever-Ready (GB) 1912 with a GEM SS and shim (#9)
Alum Block and Rinse
Groomed SPF15 Moisturiser
4711 AS
Oud 24 hours EDP

I haven't used an Erasmic stick for years.....mainly due to multiple changes in formulation. I much preferred the tallow version....which this appears to be. Not as slick as the Palmolive stick....but I got there in the end! 3 pass BBS shave....with rather surprisingly...no touch ups
