Friday S O T D
Back from my travels and a chance to try some of the items that I have acquired since joining this great site and community.
Todays shave was with all new to me items Razor Brush A/S TOBS Cream and bowl (Well old coffee cup) lathering.
As you will all have seen my posts and I have mentioned that my technique has been improving all the time (Practice makes perfect and all that) well todays results were just fantastic.
Razor Merkur 38c Barber Pole
Blade Wilkinson Sword (Used before in EJ89)
Brush Finest Silver Tip (German made allegedly)
TOBS Lemon and Lime Cream (Used before with Chinese badger and EJ89)
TOBS A Superb Gentleman's Aftershave.
Result absolutely fantastically clean smooth shave.
From just one shave I can see that the weight of the Merkur is so right for me almost no pressure at all on the razor 3 passes NO TOUCH UPS I had to feel all round 2 or 3 times to be sure. I feel today that I have arrived at where I want to be in the shaving stakes.
So the Merkur will be my bench mark, it just felt right from the first stroke, I have some other items on the way but for now it will be the Merkur and a variety of blades, with the W/S as the starting point.
