Tues 22nd October

Vulfix 404 mixed
Vitos Super Red
ATT SE-G
Gem S/S ( 4 )
Massimo Dutti A/S lotion

A back to back Shave with the ATT SE-G causes no problems. A nice smooth shave,with better results around the neck than yesterday.Shavetime average for a Gem Razor, but the finish though good does not yet match those that I get with a Streamline or 1924. I think it would suit those with a lighter beard than mine.

prep - hot shower
Soap - Cella
Razor - Rockwell 6c (R4)
Brush - Yaqi 28mm
Blade - Polsilver (1)
Post - Hot/Cold rinse Alum block
Balm - Nivea for men

Started off with Merkur progress on 3. Got 2 strokes in and gave up and picked up the Rockwell. Progress just not doing it for me these days and seriously considering selling it on. Nice smooth 3 passes with touch up and another effortless BBS.
 
Monday 22nd October

Squadron Red Lead
RazoRock 400 Plissoft Noir
Ikon 102 / Ikon Special Edition Handle
Voskhod (1)
Blue Stratos ASL



The Voskhod didn't feel as smooth, or as sharp as a Silver Blue in this razor but it did the job.
I bowl lathered the soap and got a very good lather, but it's not my preferred method these days.
Finished with a liberal dose of Blue Stratos
 
Evening shave

Olive Oil Soap
Squadron ‘The Warden'
Thater 4125/2
Christopher Bradley Karve D Plate
Aussie Spoiler (3)
Humphreys Witch Hazel

The Squadron soap was a gift from the remarkable @TomG. Now don't get me wrong, the man has his faults. Serious character flaws that it would be unfair to highlight here. But parsimony isn't one of them. This was a wonderfully generous gesture. The Aussie bounder has a good nose too. He was aware of how much I like Knize Ten and chose the soap accordingly. An excellent match. And the soap is top-notch. A doddle to lather, thick, slick, and with good post-shave qualities. A very fine shave indeed.
Cheers Tom.
