Prep: Shower
Pre: Ted Baker Face Scrub
Brush: Tradition Shaving co.
Razor: Merkur 37c Slant
Blade: 7 o'clock yellow (2)
Soap: Tabac stick
A/S: Alum, T&H No.10 serum
Rescued the blade from my vengeful Gillette NEW OC and transported through time into the modern Slant. Good decision. This razor just does the job without a grumble.
Easy shave with a light touch. Tabac as ever supplied the slickness required.
Not sure what the T&H serum actually does apart from preventing ingrowns but it conditions the skin nicely.
Result: lovely BBS with no irritation.
Have a great weekend y'all.

Good morning chaps!
Pre: Warm water splash
Brush: Isana - boar brush
Razor: Fatip piccolo
Blade: Personna blue (3)
Cream: Erasmic
A/S: Quorum
bit rough around the edge today but the face feels nice and smooth. the fatip is quite aggressive so a light touch is needed. I've been avoiding my chin recently because of a spot issue but today got rid of the goat - it's me again!
can't recommend the Quorum highly enough - i smell like a GOD!

Gillette 2-piece New
Rapira SS (2)
Semogue SOC 2-band
Proraso green tub (old)
Witch hazel
Proraso Aftershave lotion
I hadn't shaved since Wednesday night since taking a chunk out of my jaw with the slant. Loaded the Rapira into my New - good choice.
Fancy going into London today and having a mooch. Might be dangerous though. I'd likely end up getting off at Green Park.

Hot flannel
Proraso pre, white
NF Tubby 1, Nanny's soft soap, tea tree and aloe vera
ATT Atlas R1, Rapira Swedish (3)
Cold splash, alum block
Clinique post-shave soother
Tiny nick on my neck... how did that happen? Otherwise very smooth and comfortable... had a day off shaving yesterday, so extra smoothness ensued.
My lathering technique is really improving... getting great lathers now regardless of using shaving sticks or hard or soft soaps, and the quality of the shave can only benefit from that.

Prep: Shower
Brush: Semogue Boar OC Cherry
Soap: Martin de Candre
Razor: Unknown French Tail-less near wedge 11/16"
Balm: Martin de Candre Camomile Oil
Eau de Toilette: Penhaligon's English Fern
Notes: Super speedy 1-pass shave. Reasonably close and felt very smooth. Could probably have done with another pass. I enjoyed cleaning and honing up this razor, despite a couple of small pits still on the edge.

Saturday:
Ingram's cream
Semogue SOC Boar
Aristocrat Junior
Gillette 7 o'clock SharpEdge
Witch Hazel
Pinaud Clubman
Nivea Cool Kick ASB
Just got back from town with a tube of Ingram's cream so gave it a whirl.
The verdict, well it was very nice, menthol kick isn't as strong as LEA mentholated cream but was still noticeable. Performance was good. Nice to be able to get a good blue collar British product on the high street.
Good result, with just a couple of weepers.
