PreShave: Warm water
Cream: TOBS Sandalwood
Brush: Kent BK8
Bowl: My recycled cream bowl
Razor: The Sledgehammer (Merkur 39C)
Blade Astra Platinum (Green Pack) (2)
Post Shave: Alum

For some reason, after my Xmas shave, the Feather wasn't well for me. (Notwithstanding I only shaved with it 2 times!) I was nicking myself too much. Whether this was a bad blade, or something else (more likely the latter—lapse in technique, likely), it was time to break the cycle, so I popped in an Astra to reset things. Which worked—for a fine shave.

Have a good evening

D R Harris Lavender Shave Stick
YaqI 24mm Tuxedo Marble Handle
Merkur Futur #2
Gillette 7 O'clock Yellow (3)
L'oreal Balm
PenhallIgons Bayolea EdT

I hadn't used my Futur for ages - in favour of other razors. There's something about the way that it shaves that sets it apart from other razors, a completely different feel - almost surgical and very precise blade feel.
Two days growth vanished with ease thanks to D R Harris Lavender soaps slick lather.
 
Fri 28th Dec

Simpsons Chubby 1 / Maggards 2 Band
Vitos Super Red
Mongoose B3
Schick Proline [ 7 ]
Piton classic A/S Lotion

I had no doubts that todays Shave would be good as the Mongoose when paired with a Proline is always a safe bet. What really made the difference was the lather which was so rich and creamy that the Shave was so easy, ending up with an oh so close all round finish.
