Cold water splash
Wickham Southsea Spray
Shavemac 177 Silvertip
ATT M2 Kronos
Wizamet Iridium Super (4)
Clinique Post-Shave Soother
Acqua Di Parma Colonia

Used my newly acquired Wickham soap today. Found it a little difficult to load straight from the tub as its consistency is more like a thick cream. Scooped some into my bowl and was rewarded with rich and slick lather. Southsea Spray = nice, fresh aquatic scent.
 
Pre: None
Soap: Reef Point Soap "Intrepid"
Brush: Rubberset-400 replica with 26mm TGN Finest 2-band
Razor: Gillette super adjustable
Blade: Astra green SP (2)
Post: Thayer's witch hazel, followed by Fine "Fresh Vetiver"
Great shave! I'm loving these Reef Point soaps, so slick! It's been a while since I used my "Black Beauty", I've forgotten how smooth a shaver it is.

Shower
Semogue 830
Proraso Sensitve soap
EJDE89
Lord Super Stainless [1]
Arko Ice Mint ASB

Another cracking blade and lovely shave from the EJ, which has been neglected recently - might have to make more use of it! Great lather from the Proraso soap too.
 
Homemade PSO
T&H no 10 cream
Omega 10098
Muhle R41/templ8 handle
Personna Lab Blue (3)
Alum & Witch Hazel
The Veg

Blade a bit rough on three days growth. Should've used a fresh blade really! Decanted The Veg this week into a glass bottle and whether it's the glass bottle, exposure to air or the placebo effect it smells even better. I love it anyway but it's lost those first few minutes of bitterness.
 
SOTD Thursday

Metafit to open the pores, hot shower

Thater 2 Band (thanks to the loaner, fight you for it)
Wickhams South Sea Spray
Weber P/H
Shark blade (1)
Myrsol Formula C

Broke my own rules, first time (I think) with Wickhams AND Shark blade.

Wickhams was loaned to me by SM304 (as was the Thater), on arrival it was ultra soft and gloopy. Left lid off at room temp for 24 hours and it firmed up to Cella consistency...

Loaded the brush from the tub, oodles of lather, a faint scent (my nose is buggered though) and enough for 4 passes easily.

Shark blade felt a little rough to me, especially surprising as it was new. Wickhams left my face feeling soft (similar to MWF) and although the blade was not convincing, 3 passes with a jaw line touch up left me BBS. I will be using Wickhams a lot more over the coming weeks, ordered a "few" today!

DISCLAIMER

I am not called, and have never been called Fox, Darron, Douglas or Annabel (one of those statements is a lie)
