Re: Shave of the Day, w/c Saturday 13 February 2010

EJ DE89 with a feather blade (3)
Vulfix 2235 super badger brush
Palmolive cream

Boots Freshwood ASB mixed with Kuros EDT

A DFS in fact virtually BBS very close.

1st try out of the 2235 brush, previously using a boar brush the lather developed from Palmolive cream has been poor compared to my soaps. The 2235 is a soft brush in comparison but whipped up a fine lather from the Palmolive in no time truth be told it was way too much for 4 passes.

Following a thread this week I decided to mix a squirt of Kuros EDT with some Boots Freshwood ASB which worked very well.

Sunday,

Gillette flair tipped rocket
Astra SP
Omega 10005
Palmolive stick
Alum
Ogalla Bay Rum lime & pepper corns - Thx Phil - AKA Bullgoose
Ems Bay Rum ASB

This Omega brush is doing a good job. It feels more like a silver tip badger than a boar, very soft indeed. It makes and holds a lather well.

Saturday Night

EJ 87 + IP
Vulfix Pure
Castle Forbes Lavender cream
KOS shave oil
Proraso balm
Creed MI

Smooth, trouble-free shave. Until the recent shavette experience, I'd forgotten how good the Proraso balm was: really leaves my skin feeling mint.

1Gear - nice combo, straight plus the nice safe SS for tidy up.

I went back to the future today and used my Mach 3 using my usual three pass short stroke technique now developed with the DE. Very close shave. A little too close in fact, felt a little sore. In my old Mach 3 days I just scraped away in all directions. So much better with brush, soaps and three passes done systematically.

Monday

Muhle R41 OC
Derby Extra (2)
Semogue 1305
Palmolive SS

Old Spice AS
Nivea ASB

Splendid effort.

I almost always feel that face lathering, with a Palmolive SS, is hard work particularly after an ARKO or a Tabac SS. The result however is always worth the effort; I just wish that they were a larger size (whinge over!).
