Tuesday

Merkur HD
Dorco 300
men-U synthetic
Erasmic bowl
Taylors Eton a\s


i bought the Erasmic on a whim as Anton told me it's one of the better glycerin soaps, better than WS anyway.
it did perform pretty well but i'm undecided over the smell for now, same goes for the Taylors a\s
i used to like these blades when i started DE shaving but the revisit shows they are below par compared to the Gillette 7 o'clock yellows
 
Tuesday

Back from a few days away and a week of La Toja and the Fatboy - nice to have a change this morning:

Futur on 3 with a new Swede
D.R.Harris Marlborough stick
Alum
Witch hazel

Fantastic shave with just one pass.
 
Wednesday

La Toja stick
SC-68
Merkur HD
Gillette Super Thins D6
Alum
Thayers
Aqua Velva withh 444

This blade did well for 5 perfect shaves. It made it thru the 6th ok, its in the bin now.

Nice looking brush Leon. Is that an "older" Semogue boar?

Hi Fozz, no it isn't. Actually it's the new boar brush that it's coming out this month. I've been playing around with it in the last 2 weeks and it's started to broken in nicely. It's the 1520 knot in the 730 handle - classy :mrgreen:
