Sunday
Merkur 23c
Kai
Vulfix No.5 Pure Bristle
Erasmic stick
Jasper Conran Man balm
Blue Stratos AS
Blimey - the Kai really chewed up the sensitive parts of my neck in the 23c, whereas a Feather, even on it's third use, didn't. It's one of the ones Sonny sent me as he didn't get on with them - perhaps a dud batch? Haven't had that kind of problem with the ones I recently bought from dridiot or the 5 I got from Boab with a Superspeed I bought from him. I might try one of my new Kais in the same razor for comparison once my neck's healed.

Saturday Evening
Razor: Murkur Futur (set at 4)
Blade: Feather (day 2)
Brush: Vulfix 2235 "Super Badger"
Cream: Edwin Jagger Sandalwood (a sample)
Aftershave Balm: Boots Freshwood

A couple of rough shaves from this feather blade! Several repeated nicks and weepers, none the less a very close shave and the Boots ASB calmed the irritation.

Merkur Slanthammer
Iridium
EJ Best Badger
Cella
D.R. Harris Pink a/s
Trumper's Bay Rum Cologne
An even better lather from the Cella this morning, and I didn't really notice the scent. The Bay Rum is very "clovey", smells a bit medicinal, but I like it. I keep sticking my nose down the front of my shirt to get a wiff.

Merkur 34c
Shark SS (3)
Vulfix 404 Bodger
BS Maca Root Cream
Old Spice (USA) AS & Nivea ASB Mix
Probably squirted a tad too much cream into the bowl; what a lather!! Enough for a 57 pass shave I think and the scent has really grown on me.
I wonder if the 34c / Shark SS is a winning combination. Another blade, after this rotation, will tell me the answer. The Bodger brush is absolutely fantastic!
Terrific shave!

Tiger blade (grrrr!)
Gold-Dachs soap

Got bitten by a tiger this morning*. Managed to drop my razor and catch it using only my little finger. Nicked a slice from it which bled copiously spoiling a rather nice shave. :roll:
*Not really, just a joke, because the razor blade I used is called Tiger.

Out to lunch today with an old friend, so a good excuse for a late leisurely shave. Not sure what it was, the Plisson? The Coates? the added water or the lathering bowl? Whatever it was I produced the most amazing lather in abundance, and the Plisson was pure luxury. At the price of around £190 for a small brush (20 mm knot/ 53 mm loft) it is outrageously OTT but it is a superb brush.
