Fri 8th Nov.

RazoRock Syn.24mm
Speick Cream
ER 1924/ Ikon Handle
Gem S/S [ 4 ]
Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

My first use of this Cream for a while, what a superb effective lather it yields and does not cost the earth.After a moderate Shave yesterday this was the goods, as the care worn ER 1924 fitted with a longer handle is a delight to use, nice blade feel smooth and effective. The ease and quality of todays Shave was up there with the best I get from a Streamline, and more latterly a TNNSER. Yes that good you TNNSER users.I will replenish this cream when its used up as post Shave my skin is feeling nicely refreshed and smelling good.

Signature Soap CoIra
Zenith Synthetic
3D printed bowl a'La @Northam Saint
Timeless SS 0.68 Scalloped
Astra SP (2)
Lynx Dark Temptation Aftershave

The Signature Soap doesn't seem fussy which of my synthetic brushes is used to whip it up in my 3D printed bowl
Brian said it was a thirsty soap, but I find it no more thirsty than most soaps or creams.
This was my third shave in a row with this soap, and again, it performed very well in all respects.
@BrianH has nailed this formulation

The Timeless/Astra SP combo has been a pleasure to use for my last two shaves. Smooth and very efficient with minimal effort .
Finished with Lynx Dark Temptation Aftershave - I know I've said it before, but this is an excellent aftershave for not a lot of money.
Thanks Paul
Regards Brian

Sotd - this evening - Thursday the seventh of November.

Razor - ER Streamline
blade - vintage ER (lost count)
brush - Chubby 1 - best
soap - Nivea cream - tube - Spanish
post - witch hazel
a/s - Nivea - 2 in 1
balm - none needed - on my face - Nivea cool gel hidrante on my scalp.

Result - none more shaven.

I work outdoors - mostly - so what would be a rational response - in Scotland - to the change in the seasons? A proper east wind today - bitter - biting - let's shave my head and face - what was I thinking? - hence the picture above. I'm more comfortable using a cartridge razor for a head shave - these were fine. BBS upper and lower - job done. Software - wise - all Nivea - you don't have to spend a fortune to get a good result. It is all about knowing what you are doing. I do value a good 'economy' shave. Enjoy yours - I.
Nothing wrong with those for the dome, Iain. I tried a Schick Injector on mine. But only once...

A very nice Friday shave.
3 passes without issue WTG, XTG & ATG, the new bowl working a treat and it fits in my big mit perfectly.
The blade, although still working well has been banked after 5 shaves, i have that many now its not worth trying to push them. I do like these blades though. The GC-OC working really well leaving me clean and comfortable
A very nice post shave and i used a splash of Tabac Aftershave as an astringent, balmed up with Tabac Original and finished with Tabac EDC.
Cue-ball smooth with a soft and supple face feel.
Have a great afternoon All.
