Greetings

Monday 4th September 2017
Prep: Shower
Razor: Ninfa
Blade: Filarmonica
Brush: RazoRock Silvertip Synthetic
Soap: Tabac Stick
Aftershave: Simple Moisteriser
EDP: Dior Homme Intense

A great shave, this filarmonica blade is so thin and so easy to prepare. I am less keen on this brush whilst it has a really nice ergonomic handle the knot is too stiff for me, I think this is because the loft seems a little short. For those wanting a Plissoft brush with a good amount of backbone this would be a good choice.

Regards
Dick.

Tuesday...

Soap - Tabac Original
Brush - RazoRock Disrupter
Face lather
Razor - RazoRock Black Hawk V2
Blade - Feather Professional #2
Post - Alum, Thayer's
After Shave - Tabac Original

Night 2 of the Hawk.

After a tentative start last night, I opted for taking advantage of the wide head of this razor. Longer strokes, so fewer; and just a little more pressure.

The result was a tremendous shave. The alum gave a reassuring warmth and the smoothness is great.

This is proving to be a smashing razor...

Prep: Warm Shower Clinique
Razor: 1912
Blade: Gem #2
Brush: Razorock 400 Aluminium Synth
Soap: The Fat
Post: Aloe Vera 100% Gel
EDT: Izzey Myake

What a wonderful evenings shave. Have I ever told you that I am madly in love with the 1912 razor? A piece of history in my hands that can outrun any razor I have in my arsenal. I simply love it. An irritation free BBS shave after 3 passes.

The MWF soap performed wonderfully. Super rich lather that was slick and thick leaving a lovely post shave feel.

The brush is my favourite of the ones I own. Not only due to sentimental reasons but face lathering is a joy. Beautifully soft with plenty of backbone.

I highly recommend Aloe Vera 100% gel. A really good value for money skin care product IMO.

Finishing off with a generous spray of the refreshing Issey Myake EDT I can't stop smiling.

Enjoy your shaves.
Wayne.

Wayne,

Where did you get your Aloe Vera 100% gel? I'm currently using Ibiza-Aloe Aloe Vera Gel, definitely the best Aloe I have come across, YMMV
