Greetings

Monday 8th December 2014
Prep: Shower
Razor: Schick G8 Injector
Blade: Personna Stainless Coated
Brush: Vulfix 404 Mixed
Soap: Vitos Extra Super(Red)
Aftershave: Astral Cream (light)
EDT: FCUK

This was my third or fourth use of the Vitos Extra Super and I am very impressed indeed with this soap, it is really super slick and protective, I rate it right up there along with my other very few favourite soaps. Some folk will possibly not like it because of the strong Amaretto scent, I like the scent.

Regards
Dick.

Night shift last night so got up at lunch time - usually I feel crap but decided to cheer myself up as follows:

Prep: Hot Shower
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89
Blade: Astra #3
Brush: Vulfix 404 Bodger
Soap: Arko
ASB: Village Barber

The day is no longer a complete write off!

I'll still be a cheap night out though - few beers at tea time then early to bed!
 
Soap: D R Harris - Sandalwood
Razor: 1912 SE
Blade: GEM
Brush: Custom 400 Boar
Aftershave: Avon Balm
EDT: Dunhill 51.3 N

First time with the D R Harris, and I found it very disappointing. Scent smells like a generic scent that's used in most hand creams. The lather was OK and left my face a little dry but the biggest disappointment and shock was the amount of soap scum stuck to everything, even my hands were coated.

Managed to save what was a poor shave with some aftershave balm, something not used in months and so pleased that I did not throw it away when I had a clear out some time back.

All in all not too impressed.

Have a good evening Gents.
 
Prep: Hot wash with dove soap
Brush: Vie-Long horse/badger.
Soap: Super smooth bay rum.
Razor: 1966 slim adjustable. #4
Blade: Gillette silver blue #3
Post: Prof Blighty Hyperion post shave tonic.


Smooth 3 pass shave with no nicks, weepers or razor burn. Just nice smooth skin.

Pre: Village Barber oil
Soap: Ralph Lauren Safari
Brush: Rubberset-400 replica with 26mm TGN Finest 2-band
Razor: Gillette Super-Adjustable (O-2)
Blade: NOS Gillette "Spoiler" SS (4)
Post: Thayer's witch hazel, followed by Ralph Lauren Safari EdT
I forgot how enjoyable this setup is. The RL soap lathered without really trying and the blade/razor combo was silky smooth.
