NatJag,

The brand of glycerine soap I use is "Clearly Natural". I purchase it at a local grocery and I doubt it would be procurable in the UK.

Claus Porto makes some glycerine soap that perhaps could be found in your neck of the woods, or something similar perhaps at one of your drug stores, excuse me, apothicaries.

Futur (2)
Red Personna (5)
Mühle Pure Badger
Irisch Moos
New Scuttle :D
Old Spice Fresh Lime AS
Nivea ASB.

Reckon i could get another shave out of the Red, but think i'll change tomorrow to be safe.
Scuttle is great! Didn't think i had enough lather in there to start with, as the base of the lasther bowl part is much wider than the mug i had been using, but there was more than enough! Just got to get used to it! Mmmm warm lather! :p

Have a good day guys...only a couple to go until the weekend :shave

Thursday
Mühle R89
Derby (1) *
Trumpers Super Travel brush
GFT Coconut cream
Alum
Coral
GFT Moisteriser

Closer shave, with some red patches bottom of the neck.
*Started with Shaving Shacks Israeli Blade (4) but was tugging on first part so changed to the Derby from Vertical box. So 3 Days max on the Israeli blades. The derby whilst it cut my stubble wasn't as comfortable as it should be. I'll see tomorrow how it goes.
 
Thursday

Ever Ready
Ted Pella
Semogue 830
MWF
Alum
Aqua Velva
444 ASB

Great shave from the ER.

I would not be suprised to see the 830 become their bestseller.
 
Thursday

Edwin Jagger DE87
Blue Bird (1)
Chinese Badger
TBS Macca Root cream
Alum
Witch Hazel (with added menthol)
Gillette series sensitive AB
Superdrug Forest Fresh AS


I tried a Blue Bird quite a while ago and had a nasty experience on the 2nd shave with dragging etc, as I've got my EJ87 now and hopefully my technique has got better , I thought I would give it another go. So the first shave today was very good, its a very sharp blade and the shave was smooth and left me with a DFS, so lets see what tomorrow brings .


Have a nice and pleasant day Gents.

Tony,

Is that one of the "Chinese Badger" Brushes from ebay? (Between £8 and £10)? I ask as i was wondering what they are like. I started a thread on it a couple of weeks ago, but no-one had tried one.
Cheers,
