Pears Glycerine soap
Vitos Pre Shave Cream
Stirling Pumpkin Spice
Vie-Long Horse Hair Brush
Bigelow-Parkin Razor with a 7 O'Clock Permasharp Blade
Alum Block and Rinse
Thayers Witch Hazel
Nivea Skin Energy Double Action Balm
Old Spice Musk AS

A late shave today as I am on night duty tonight. I (unusually) haven't shaved for 48 hrs so was pleased when the Bigelow-Parkin ( on loan from a member of another forum ) arrived this morning. I had mentioned on another topic that I like using quirky razors and was kindly offered the opportunity to try this one!
3 passes for a shave which was as good as you could get:)

MÜHLE Rocca R96
Personna med prep
Bart's Balm Lime oil asb

Palm lathered a small knob of Nõberu hard cream with the Razorock Bruce and quickly had plenty of smooth, creamy lather lightly scented with limes. This cream is not in the same league as Castle Forbes Lime, which has way more lime! The Nõberu cream does moisturise well though, and I had a good, close two pass Shave with the Rocca, and great post shave feel, and more limes with Bart's Balm aftershave balm. Excellent.
 
Prep: Wash with Pears soap
Pre: Proraso White preshave
Soap/Cream: Gentleman's Face Care Club Caribbean Lime (bowl lathered)
Brush: TSC Pure Badger
Razor: DE89 Kelvin
Blade: NOS Personna Super Stainless Made in GB (2)
Post: Cold water rinse / Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel
AS: Duru Lemon
ASB: Barts Lime Oil

Lovely shave today. The NOS Personna blade was nice and smooth paired with the DE89. The GFCC cream gave very slick cushioned lather in no time at all. Compares favourably with more expensive creams and has a nice mild lime scent which works great with The Duru and Barts brilliant Lime Oil balm.

Have a great day.

Cheers
Steve

Stirling Syn. Brush
P & B Pall Mall
Schick E2 -Canada
Schick S/S Single- Japan [ 1 ]
Bay Rum A/S Splash= a L`Electrif

After a splendid Shave yesterday, I actually got another today. I used my quite Minty E2 with a Japanese Schick, and it shaved smoothly and efficiently, with a super close all round finish. This Razor could well dislodge the PAL Injecto-Matic from its No 1 position [ Razors that only use a single blade].

The P & B was very nice and I thought a little Bay Rum splash would complement it, lingers quite well. Thanks to Arthur @Electrif who harnessed his Chemist skills and made it- well done Arthur.

An excellent shave, the Pils really is a top performer and the soap and splash brought a bit of warmth to a chilly day.
The Pashana ASL is one of the few things were the expression "less is more" makes perfect sense.
Happy Shaving one and all.
