Thursday 19th December

Pre - Pinaud Clubman Shave Oil
Soap - Pinaud Clubman
Brush - YaqI Chianti 24mm Synthetic
Razor - Timeless 0.68 SS Scalloped
Blade - Gillette Platinum (2)
Post - Superdrug Forest Fresh ASL

I used a bit too much of the shave oil which killed the lather a little, but still managed a comfortable shave
Clubman soap works very well, even with only a thin layer of lather.

I PIFed my original tub of Cella to a guy at work as I always struggled getting it to lather well. Many months on, I can comfortably lather every soap I've tried so decided to pick up another tub of Cella which is on offer at Connaught. Wow, this is a great croap. I was definitely the problem originally.

Loads of good slick lather and a BBS finish. This injector blade is getting better each shave as well.

SOTD 12/20/19

A beautiful Featherweight, Fat Friday on this 20th day of Decadent December resulted in a decent DFS of both dome and face. I really enjoy Gem razors, and of my Gems, I can always count on my Featherweight and my favorite Mitchell's Wool Fat soap to provide a luxurious, thick protective lather that does away with the need for any preshave soap, and delivers a solid, comfortable shave. I feel smooth, clean and refreshed.

RAZOR: Gem Featherweight
BLADE: Pella SS PTFE
PREP: Cold Water rinse of dome and face
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
SOAP: Mitchell's Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with PAA's Mysterium Serum

Missed my Shave yesterday as away and intended to have it on my return Home, but felt a bit under the weather so put it off.Today initial clearance a bit slow, but the rest went very well.I thought my last Shave was good with an E2/Dutch Schick, but the finish today was even better as maybe the skin was rested and more receptive to the blade.
