Blade: Astra SP #2
Razor: Gillette Aristocrat Adjustable 1966 Setting 4
Soap: Declaration Grooming Bison Tallow
Brush: S.V. Rosewood
Post: Thayers Witch Hazel
EDT: ADP Essenza

After yesterday's shave with a glorious straight I only needed two passes with the formidable Gillette slim to bring me back to baby smooth.

Aided with the best brush I have had the fortune to try. The Saponificio Varesino provides super soft tips and superb flow through.

Declaration Grooming have got it spot on with their Bison Tallow soaps. Great slickness and cushion throughout the shave leaving a lovely post shave feel.

No need for balm but finished with a generous helping of ADP.

Enjoy your shaves! :)

RazoRock Syn.22mm
Fitjar Slatteroy- sample
Schick N1
Schick Proline [ 6 ]
Lea A/S Balm.

This Schick is designed for use with Twin Blades, but it still performs very well with a Schick Proline AC Blade. This was particularly true today, due to the superb lather provided by the Fitjar, the Shave was really smooth and resulted in an all round close finish. Did not use an A/S today as decided to use the Lea Balm, which left the skin feeling quite refreshed and not at all greasy. Could be tempted by the Fitjar if it weren't for the cost, it might be good but I still have enough stuff to keep me going for a while.

Alum Block, Nivea Balm & 4711 Nouveau Cologne

Like yesterdays razor, todays is one I like but feel I can better shaves from my others, always seem prone to several weepers. Today's shave however was one of the better ones, only two very tiny spots. Happy with it and it has earned a stay of execution. Finished off with some fruity 4711, a lovely fragrance.

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney 1/3 Ivory Finest (26/55)
Ralph Lauren Safari shaving soap (vintage)
Delta Echo Ink Edition Feather AS-D2/Triad Spiral Titanium
Wilkinson Light Brigade (4)
Ralph Lauren Safari aftershave balm (vintage)

The Safari soap is excellent and underappreciated, I think. The matching balm is actually more of an aftershave milk and has a slight momentary bite to it.
