Saturday 2nd March



La Toja Magno Soap
Clubman Shave Butter (Pre shave)
Creightons for Men Ultra Rich Shaving Cream
Omega S10083 Synthetic Brush
Turkish Copper Shaving Bowl
Focus R48 Dynamic SE with a Supermax Blue Diamond Blade
Alum and Rinse
Simple Facial Toner
Aloe Vera Gel
Brut Oceans AS

I didn't post yesterday. I was so disappointed as it was a special event.I used a PAL blade or the first time in a Clog Pruf. It was like using sand paper and I had to revert to a Tech to get an acceptable finish.
Today's shave was a breath of fresh air and unless I am careful and behave myself....I may end up ordering another Focus Dynamic. (I fancy a red one!)
3 passes for an absolutely BBS result......and as usual with the R48.........2 would have been enough!

Omega 11126 boar
Speick Active
Gem Micromatic - Original
Gem S/S [ 2 ]
Pitralon Original A/S Lotion

I used the Micromatic today a Razor which has an undeserved reputation of being overly aggressive. I have found that provided the correct angle is used and the shave not rushed it provides a smooth and comfortable Shave with a top notch finish. For ease of loading a blade it is superior to the modern Sabre L1, ATT SE-G and The Starling , and in my opinion delivers a better Shave.

YaqI Chianti 24mm Synthetic
Palmolive Stick
Rockwell 6C R4
GSB 3
L'oreal Balm
YSL Kouros EdT

A smooth comfortable shave that was unhurried and enjoyable.
These days, with three days growth I look terrible as most of my whiskers are grey. (Albert Steptoe 'esque !! )
Palmolive has to be the best budget soap ever. Always performs well and a stick seems to last forever
