Now let's watch how England and Wales do in their in-between Euro finals 2016 match, which just started.
 
Wash - Meissner Tremonia Puristic
Prep - Noxzema
Razor – Merkur 34C HD
Blade – Personna Med Preps
Brush - Duke 3 Best
Soap – OSP Bay Rum
Post - Witch Hazel

OSP lathered like a champ, the soap likes me, so it's a keeper.... the Merkur was far too mild, even with Meds, will have to seek a more aggressive blade next time, I've plenty to work through, so I'm sure I'll find something suitable. BBS, even though it took a while, so job done!

My 1st opinion of the GEM baton handle (before I got one) was 'How ugly is that'. But since I got and used one, that view changed immediately. It is a super shaver, especially with a ½ shim.

First shave with Wickham 1912 Unscented. Loaded brush for 15secs and proceeded to whip up enough lather for at least 4 passes! Superlative glide and cushion, excellent post-shave feel and extra skin-friendly formulation. A real winner from Darron at Wickham Soap Co.
