A really good shave this morning. The Variant and the med prep giving a close, comfortable shave in two passes. The Snake Bite soap and after shave lotion is a wonderfully invigorating combination. A good start to the day.

Thur 24th Sept.

RR 400.SE-Plissoft noir
P & B Citra Royale
Schick Type "O" Clone
Schick S/S Twin - Japan [ 13 ]
Tuff Green A/S Lotion

This might not be a genuine Schick, but it really does deliver a Super Shave. Though I have a heavy beard, I find that I can work merrily away in all areas to ensure even the stubborn whiskers are removed without any fuss. A lovely close mid afternoon Shave as we are going out for an early evening meal.

Good evening all.

Pre- Bloom Water
Soap- P&B Spitfire
Brush- Omega Boar
Razor- Parker 22R Interceptor
Blade- Gillette 7 O'clock Permasharp.
Post- Alum Block and P&B Spifire
Splash- P&B Spitfire

Feeling nice and smooth but a lot of feedback with the Alum Block. I'm not sure if this razor/blade combination works for me. I've read the 22R is an aggressive razor so possibly could be that?

The soap is second to none and I love the scent, just right for the dull day we've had down here.

Stay safe everyone

Cream: Piccadilly unfragranced
Brush: Maggard 24mm Red Swirl
Razor: EJ DE89 short handle
Blade: Nacet (3)

Why did it take me so long to get a proper EJ DE89 instead of a Chinese made copy its 10x better and what can i say about the cheap Piccadilly shaving cream its fantastic i'm tempted to travel to TOBS and pick up a couple more
 
Today saw a shave themed 'Little puckers'

IMG_20200924_203115.jpg

Bib and tucker - Stainless Mongoose
Sharp looker - Feather Super Professional
Me best mucker - Yaqi Dandelion
Little pucker - Czech and Speake 88
Fucking great moisturiser - Brimble and Hawkins

A shave and a tug this evening. Or more correctly a shave on a tug.

A first time out for the Travel sized puck of C&S 88 soap this evening and judging by the size of it I am guessing this travel is the No.84 bus to Bootle. However its diminutive size is well excused given how much lather it produces from just a quick swirl of the Chinese Welsh national flower brush. Despite the brush being of a diameter twice that of the soap.

Expectations were high after their Oxford and Cambridge and expectations were met. Another superlative Czech and Speake product and another great performer from them.
Of course she did really mean 'I had the most wonderful cream'

The Mongoose does what the Mongoose does best and that is give one super smooth shave with maximum results and minimal effort. I still don't understand how some folk don't have a good word for it. I have a few for them, 'go sod off'

The Dandelion does what all great Welsh national flowers do best. After the Steve Jagger brush it feels like an item from a dolls house bathroom. But it still a Cashmere and by far my knot of the moment.

So all in all a smashing super shave and feeling superbly shaved to perfection.

Thank you ladies, and the same thoughts from me. See you later. Ding dong

So all it takes now to round off my adventures from a sink is some Japanese girlies to rock your socks off and this evening let's have some of those beautiful ladies, 'Band Maid'
