You are a brave man. Smooth in a life threatening kind of way but once mastered an absolutely superb whisker remover
 
Now back to CBL soaps shall we? I am a lover of “leather” scents don't really know why but I love them. Cigar Shop Cowboy is a pretty fantastic leather forward scent! Magical really with some smoke and tobacco in there.

Today's implement of stubble destruction the Colonial General SS SE. It is my current favourite razor...period. I rotate through other DE and SE razors but I could easily just grab this one for weeks on end.

Beautiful two pass DFS achieved. Topped it off with some English Leather AS and Guerlain Derby! Wow, think Clint Eastwood while wearing a bowler just punched you in the face! Happy Friday all!!! Stay safe and check in on your neighbours.

Simpson Somerset Chubby 3 Extra Super (Manchurian) (30/62)
Penhaligon's English Fern shaving soap (tallow)
Wolfman WR2-SB/UFO Goliath
Wilkinson London Bridge (7)
Houbigant Fougère Royale aftershave (vintage)

With advancing weakness and tremor in my dominant hand, the Goliath, at about 101g, is just becoming too heavy. Already I have to use a two-handed technique to wield it. I guess I'm going to have to sell or trade it.

Friday 27th March

CREAM - Truefitt & Hill No10
BRUSH - Zenith Synthetic
RAZOR - Merkur Progress 500 #4
BLADE - PolSilver Super IrIdium (3)
POST - Superdrug Forest Fresh ASL

I'm still enjoying using my recently acquired Progress. Blade feel more evident on setting 4. Next time I'll try it on 3.5 in an effort to find 'my' sweet spot with it.
PolSilver blade still keen on it's third use, smoothness hasn't wavered either.
T&H No10 is one of those creams that doesn't get much press on the forums these days. Creighton's got it right with this cream - good all round performance, nice scent, and a very small amount goes a long way. At only £10 a tub it's excellent value for money.
Finishing with Forest Fresh ASL - another example of a budget aftershave that really suits my skin.

It seems that a lot of us will be catching up on odd jobs around the home this weekend - (I've been issued with a 'job list' . . . Deep joy . . .

Stay safe and stay well everyone

SOAP: Bow + cream LA Toja Sensible

The mess goes with the razors.

At first, it gives me an old Gillette ... What better than the adjustable SLIM. Two passes, one at 5 and one at 9. He did not grind much, I think the DORKO ST-301 sheet would be in the last ones.

So a little pass with the IKON Open Comb Short with Bulldog handle. I went to load and ride; two sheets + two separators and two sheets with dry stick.

I repeated the same with the IKON SAVECRAFT TECH 103.

Of course the sheets were in use .. I can't imagine the same plan with four FEATHER DD to be released ..

Shave .... CBD ,, no crying or cuts ..
