So tonight I decided sandlewood is the flavour of choice.
Hot shower with the lovely Taylor's body wash,
Executive shave pre,
Proraso red,
Badger and boar grosvenor brush,
Now it gets interesting!
Fatip grande on its maiden shave!
Astra sp "considered safest choice"
Thayers rose petal to stem blood flow
Well our first liaison was shall we say "emotional". First pass, well this is easy, yes I have blade feel, but pffh, nothing to it!
Well second pass across the grain, hmm, few hot spots? Third pass against OMFG !
Nice close shave though!
For punishment I chose Atkinson's 24 old bond as ! Yep that stung, but god it smells incredible.
Can't wait to do it again.

Did the Fatip live up to the hype created by us enablers?

Well I will certainly treat it with a bit more respect on its next outing, it's very capable and lulls you into complacency.
Think I'm going to get on with it though.

17th March

I had a wonderful shave this morning. Some Gillette Vector blades arrived in the post yesterday from eBay and they are cracking good blades - sharp, smooth and gentle on the face. I've always been a huge fan of the Atra/Contour and really should invest in a decent handle.

I've used the Saponificio Bignoli creams for most of my shaves recently and I'll probably end up buying full tubs of the other flavours. It's probably the best cream I've ever used.

Friday...

Soap - Valobra Menthol
Brush - Semogue 2000 boar
Face lather
Razor - Ever Ready 1924
Blade - Gem Personna
Post - Thayer's and Proraso Green a/s

Bliss. Not having the closest of shaves with the 1914 yesterday meant there was enough for today's resultant smoothness. The 1924 certainly delivered. 3 passes with minimal touch up.

The 2000 keeps getting better and better. Plenty Valobra lather generated; which has a lovely menthol essence. I really feel it with the cold water rinsing between passes. Proraso to finish off and my face feels cooler than an Esquimax' codpiece.
