I do wonder if this is a free mason sign (the year and places are from when Heljestrand won medals in competitions/exhibitions, I think):

Beautiful morning shame about my rush to go to work!

Kent BK8
Dr Harris - Windsor
Weber DLC - Astra SP (2)
Profs ASB
E45

Feeling smooth and moist! I am liking using the profs ASB Untill it sinks in then adding a small amount of E45 to get me through the day.
 
Saturday

Dovo Best Quality 5/8 and Merkur Progress/Shark Super Chrome
Edwin Jagger Silvertip Brush
Scent From Heaven Limes Shaving Soap
Witch Hazel

My first attempt with the Dovo since I damaged myself with it a couple of weeks ago. As you can probably tell by the presence of the Merkur, it wasn't good.

I'm reaching a point, yet again, where I'm convinced that I'm not going to make traditional straights work for me in a satisfactory manner.

7 o'clock head with UFO Red Kong handle
Bolzano Superinox (1)
Simpsons Hive Manchurian badger
Nannys cedar wood & vetyver soap

Managed to slip when going round my adams apple so a small nick there, and a couple of weepers by my mouth caused by an ill-advised buffing after the third pass.

Apart from that, BBS smooth so all good for a Saturday.

More like it today back to proper lather made in a bowl.
Also blade and razor combo worked better.:icon_razz:
 
Wilkinson Sword disposable
EJ black badger
La Toja shave stick
Witch hazel
Proraso blue balm

Floris JF

Visiting the girlfriend's folks and my own over the next few days and didn't feel like bringing my DE with me. A very good shave, actually, although I expect that was to do with the quality of the lather. I really get on with the La Toja. I somehow contrived to nick myself three times - more than I cut myself shaving in a month with my 34c!

Enjoying the JF - probably the only Floris I'd currently consider a bottle Tojaof. I'll have to check whether there's still a sake on.
 
No pre-shave
Trumpers Coconut cream
Rocket HD / Fat Tech with Bolzano
Rocket HD with Wilkinson Light Brigade
Proraso pre- and post- shave cream as post-shave

I used to like the bolzano blades when I first started out some 2 years ago. Now I find them blunt and draggy in every razor I try and I don't have my Merkur 38R anymore to try to get those good shaves with them. The Light Brigade finished off on its fifth outing but four would have been the best point to stop :-s

Veleiro Pre soap + GAL soap stick + New Forest 2213 + UFO U2 Long with Feather Portable head and Laser + Myrsol Agua de Limón with LEA balm

Another spanish flavour shave! This GAL stick is unfortunately discontinued but it performs very decently, smells better than LEA and have alantoin added. A very clean shave!

Cheers!

Hello friends.
This morning I thought it was a good day to release a Feather blade with Gillette NEW LC head. I placed one of my best handles, a UFO handle, of course. I picked a good soap and a good After Shave, and launched myself into the mess! The result is unbeatable. When I went to take the picture, I saw that my wife had on the table the great book of Anne Geddes, and I not have it thought twice, and I've put the photo background. Never more appropriate. What do you think, my friends? Enjoy the weekend!
