Feather (3rd run - cleaned in between each run. Should last 4-5 at least?)

3 shaves for me and a Feather is done. Unfortunately, they also tend to 'go' with no warning. They sort of fall off a cliff.

Away on business/work Xmas piss up so:
Wilkinson Sword shave stick
Aluminium Tech
Gillette Silver NOS (J4)
TOBS Shaving Shop aftershave gel

Very nice. Chose an unaggressive shave combo and worked a treat. Off for drinks then dinner.

MONDAY EVENING

Crappy, cold and dark means it's time to bring out the luxury.

So....

Gillette Aristocrat 16 (to feed my Rhodium ape - Silvy)
Personna Red (must get some more of these, they are excellent)
GFT Coconut cream - scuttle lathered
Simpsons Hive
Witch hazel
Castle Forbes AS balm

Superb shave. Close enough to be very comfortable with no nicks or cuts.

Morris & Forndran stubby 2XL
Cella Crema Da Barba

Muhle R41
Treet Durasharp
Proraso green tub
Omega No.37
Superdrug Sierran Breeze

Second time I've used the Treets and the first time in the R41. Really excellent shave. Felt a little rough at first but smoothed out. 3.5 pass shave and nice and smooth. As close to a BBS as I ever get.

Tuesday:

Prof Blighty's Harlequin soap
Semogur SOC Boar
Artist Club SS
Pro blade
Witch Hazel
DR Harris Windsor AS

Thought I'd have another go with the Pro blades rather than the Pro Guards I normally use. All was going along well until I carved a lump out of my cheek whilst doing a touch up pass, I was really pleased with how it was going up until that point. Pro Guards for me from now on I think. I'll revisit the Pros in a few months time.
 
Tuesday

Prep: A bloody cold walk with the dog, then a much needed hot shower.
Cream: TOBS Jermyn Street
Brush: Neep 29mm Aztec
Razor: iKon Deluxe Open Comb
Blade: Personna Red (3)
A/S: TOBS Jermyn Street

This blade has just had enough, normally I get 3 comfortable shaves, but not this time. A good BBS, just not as comfortable as it should have been.
