Not long ago, in a bathroom not very far from here:

Shower
Kappus shaving cream
NF2207
EJ de89 barley
Gillette Nacet
Proraso pre-post and ASL

three passes swiftly dispatched a week's growth. Leaving behind a super smooth face and one wee nick in a spot where I've never had one before: lack of concentration. Lovely shave from the Nacet, must have a hunt for these to add to the collection.

Pre- Hot shower

Soap- Tabac soap, with edwin jagger pure badger brush= good thick lather

Razor- Merkur 42 with tesco's personna(3).

WTG and XTG smooth but not quite as smooth as yesterday, didn't want go atg with a 3 day old blade so went xtg in opposite direction to before. No real improvement in smoothness from before the pass but now feel a tad sore!

Post- Cold water splas, nivea sensitive as balm, aquatonic as.
 
Gillette Flair Tip Super Speed (1955)
Wilkinson Sword modern German blade
Erasmic tube cream (old formula)
St. James Founders Reserve Mandarin & Patchouli aftershave gel


Not a very sharp blade but wasn't as tuggy as the last one I used. Maybe that was because I shaved late yesterday (about 8pm) and midday today.
Erasmic cream from tube really good (performance, not so much the smell)
 
Merkur 38B
Treet Durasharp (1)
TOBS Mr Taylor Cream
Kent BK4

In a rush, so forgot to use any kind of smellies afterwards. Still, not a bad shave at all.
 
Aristo #15
Gillette Super Stainless (2)
Neep Soapstone Badger
Dutch Moss shave cream (scuttle lathered)
Witch hazel
Castle Forbes AS balm

Almost ruined Henk's lovely cream by adding a touch too much water which meant it went a little bit foamy. Still delivered a great shave but I was a bit peeved at myself.

1 small nick, but apart from that another great shave from the bling razor.
 
Preparation - Rock Face face wash
Cream - mixed together the last of the St James of London Cedarwood and Clarysage with Erasmic chamomile 'new improved'
Brush - EJ synthetic
Razor - EJ Chatsworth barley chrome
Blade - Wilkinson Sword Classic
Post shave balm - Real Shaving Co. - bottomless tube version - it's lasted for around 5 months now.

I mixed together what I had left of two shaving creams and have created something okay with it. It's a tiny bit runny but lathers and holds together okay.

2 passes and I get a smooth shave.
 
Pre-bed shave tonight:

Prep: Hot shower
Razor: Feather Artist Club RG (wood), Pro blade (2)
Cream: Taylor's Violets
Brush: Neep #947 yew silvertip badger
Result: quick, clean, satisfying

Now contemplating pancakes. Am I hungry? No. Do I want some? Naturally.
 
Wed. 22nd, West Shanghai, P.R.C.

Frank Shaving Fine 26mm
