Now now, what kind of crazy talk is that? Think of the perks, young man, the perks! :D

I hope she's not badly wounded!
 
Hot flannel
Proraso pre, menthol
NF Tubby 1 brush, TOBS Sandalwood cream
Gillette Slim (setting #4), Perma-sharp (1)
Cold splash, alum block
Clinique post-shave healer

DFS and irritation-free. The perma-sharps still in my top 3 blades.
Haven't used the Slim for a bit and it felt great... but a few too many touch-ups required... might hutch it up to a #5 tomorrow and see what happens
 
Friday 1st

Hot shower
Hot flannel
Palmolive stick grated into plasic tub and scuttle lathered
Simpsons 59 best brush
Ikon OC + Permasharp (2) pass 1&2
Weber POL bulldog handle + Gillette 7 oclock black (1) pass 3 and touchup
Cold rinse
Witch hazel
Boots original bay rum

Lovely smooth shave today :icon_biggrin:
Trying a two razor shave the Ikon is a lovely razor but not as smooth as the Weber which is my current favourite. The Palmolive soap makes a rich lather warm from the scuttle.

Yesterday Mrs J Fell down some stairs, and has managed to damage her arm but we won't know if its a fracture until tomorrow when after 5 hours in the A&E we get to go to the fracture clinic for further investigation tomorrow:s:mad:
Click to expand...

Sorry to hear about that... make sure they have a proper look at the x-ray. When I fell over and broke my foot a few years ago, they rather missed the fact that I actually had a fracture. After three weeks of agony I was grudgingly sent along to the fracture clinic...

Cheers bud,we went to the fracture clinic to day for the follow up,and still they can't decide if there is a fracture there or not as thay can't see any thing on the X-ray :huh: So after all this crap we have to go back in 3 weeks time, Just like you :mad: Mrs J is stubborn /tough but doesn't like hospital's, personally I don't think it's fractured as when we got into dartford she insisted we go shopping......Shopping for fucks sake,what hast to happen to them to stop them fucking shopping...a browning .50 cal, jeez I give up.

Today's shave

Saturday Feb 2
- It's Groundhog Day!​

  • Rubber-handled Omega Boar
    Gem Micromatic Clog Pruf
    SE blade
    Vulfix Old Familiar Persian Musk cream
    Thayers' Rose witch hazel
    Floid Suave mentolado AS

Two passes over a few days worth of growth and bonny results, wot ho!
 
Still feeling as rough as a badgers arse. Am on antibiotics at the moment. This is definitely the worst bout of illness I've had in over a decade.

To that end I had to force myself to have a shave, though it did make me feel a bit better.

Aristo #16
Supermax Blue Diamond (1)
Simpsons Chubby 1 in best
Wilkie soap stick
Witch hazel
Wilkie AS balm

A few little nicks. One side effect of this illness seems to be my skin in much drier than normal and seems much more prone to cutting,

Overall a decent shave though.
