Monday
Feather Popular
Feather Blade (1)
Vulfix 404 Boar
Erasmic Shavebowl
Alum
Azzaro EDT
A DFS. I'm off on holiday next week camping, so thought I would have a try out of the kit I intend taking.
The popular certainly is a decent razor, albeit not on a par with either my EJ DE89 or Futur, but it provides a good shave and given its cost wouldn't be a disaster if it when awol while away. It was also noticeable that my lathering technique has improves since the last time I used the boar brush.

SWK Scuttle
Mühle Pure Badger
Kent soap

Trimaran AS
Dr Henk's Bay Rum ASB.
I thought i had lost the lather this morning - it turned very airy and like a light foam after i had lathered and while i was applying the wet towel. However, i managed to get it back by adding a drop or 2 of water and going at it again. I wonder if this is the key when lather goes all airy? Anyone else sometimes get this? Once i had re-mixed, the lather was there, longlasting and slick!
Have a good day gents.

Israeli (Shaving Shack) Personna (1)
EJ Med Pure
Body Shop Maca Root Cream
Forest Fresh AS
Nivea ASB
Excellent result! Let's see how these IPs perform over a few rotations; I've got dozens of them, so they may as well get used or at least a fair crack of the whip.
I think that this may now be my hardware set-up for a few weeks.

There's me muttering that my water's not hot enough and people are using cold water! What't the world coming to?
Always something new. Today I used Sonny's secret soap. It's pink and smells like roses and produces fine lather. But who makes it? Sonny will one day enlighten.
First proper run for my New Forest Best badger. It's a great knot - the softest tips of any best badger I have - more like a silvertip. Excellent.
And thanks to Antdad, a dollop of Tabac balm was sprinkled with the A/S - very nice. Chatsworth/red personna as good as ever.

Soap from Marseille - 50's Restored brush TGN Grade A silvertip - Merkur 25C - Personna red box #2 - Pre Proraso - TOBS Avocado sample - Alum block - Astringent Thayers Lemon - ASL Pashana sample + ASB 444.
The TOBS Avocado shaving cream is spectacular, a very good scent and the best leather you can have. The AS's mixture is fantastic too.

, small world its mine too although I'm a bit older than you, I'm after a D1 Gillette.Yowee!! gave myself a nice 1" nick today i was however rewarded with my best straight shave to date so im slowly getting there.
Gold dollar 200
P160 tipo duro soap
Thayers asb
Im slowly figuring out how to shave with a straight, can't go atg right after i go xtg i need to do an in between the two kind of diagonally, im that bristly that it'll stop the razor dead in it's tracks but if i make a diagonal pass then my hair is sufficiently short enough to make atg doable.
