Sunday xiv April 2013
Prep: Shower, lemon glycerin soap
Brush: Neep Custom '67 Thre'penny bit
Soap: Otoko Oragnics
Razor: 1914 Ever Ready Lather Catcher
Blade: GEM PTFE coated
Astringent: Thayers Cucumber WH
Post: Proraso White ASB
Fragrance: Tom Ford L'Homme Extreme
Results: First time out with my freshly arrived 1914 lather catcher. My face was a little irritated so used the Otoko which I find is the most cushioning soap I own. What an experience, I could almost hear each hair being cleanly sliced. Wonderful. Couple of weeny weepers, but nothing my alum couldn't handle. Splendid experience.
Monday xv April 2013
Prep: Shower, lemon glycerin soap
Pre: Proraso Green
Brush: Neep Custom '67 Thre'penny bit
Soap: Dr Dittmar Speziale
Razor: Aristocrat Junior (courtesy of our very own Tonyspurs)
Blade: NOS English Gillette Super Silver
Astringent: Thayers Cucumber WH
Post: Proraso White ASB
Fragrance: Creed Original Cologne
Results: First time out with my recently acquired Aristo Jnr. I paired this up with NOS English gillette blade that came in a vintage gentleman's valet I set I picked up recently. Razor and blade were excellent and whenever I whip up the Dittmar I am reminded how excellent it is. All in all, a super shave, much savoured.
All the best guys...
