Cheers Kevin,jealously is Indeed a curse. That jammy sod Paul's heading for Fuerteventura and there's me stuck in an old barge for a few days.

Greetings

Saturday 24th February 2018
Prep: Shower
Razor: Muhle R41 (2018)
Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
Brush: Plisson Synthetic
Soap: Tabac Stick
Aftershave: Simple Moisteriser
EDP: Miller Harris Le Cedre

I am continuing with my single shave blade tests with this razor and so far have tried thirteen different blades. This particular one stands out as considerably better than all the others I have tested so far in every respect. This is a complete surprise to me as the reviews on this blade are very mixed, perhaps it is just the case that it is a 'perfect fit' for the shaving geometry of this razor.

Regards
Dick.

Thanks Barry

Today's shave:

- Geo.F. Trumper Sandalwood
- Liojuny Finest Badger
- Timor OC with NoName handle and ASP blade
- Pure & Basic Classic aftershave



This older Liojuny 24mm Finest feels noticeably different from the brushes the same company now sells under its new name, Maseto. The Liojuny is less dense, has less backbone, is not as soft and loses the occasional hair. In other words, it behaves much like one used to expect a £30 brush from China to behave not long ago. (Maybe I should order another Maseto, just to make sure I have enough...?)

Saturday

Cella
Semogue 1470
Face lather
PAL Injectomatic Golden
Schick Proline B
Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Proraso Sandalwood after Shave

A very nice quick 3 passes with my PAL today. Very smooth, but also incredibly efficient; took care of one day's growth with ease, abetted by the Cella. Great stuff.

Morning shave.

Olive Oil Soap
Valobra (unscented)
Shavemac 2 Band Silvertip

A lovely shave to prepare me for the ordeal ahead. Apparently, we are shopping for our spring and summer ‘wardrobes'. Where did it all go wrong? Have a great weekend gents.

Razor - Lord L6
Blade - Nacet (3)
Brush - Omega 80265
Soap - Vitos Red Coco
Post - Benjamin's Bay Rum

I find the Nacet smooths out after a few shaves and it produces a delightful shave with the Lord L6.
