SUNDAY EVENING

Prep: Hot rinse & Prep cream
Razor: Joseph Allen straight (I think this might be 6/8)
Brush: Frank Shaving Purtech
Soap: Mike's eucalyptus and lemon grass - scuttle lathered
Post - Witch hazel & Proraso balm

This is one of the razors I picked up from Northam Saint last week. Thought it felt shave ready so stropped it and gave it a run out.

I reckon it probably needs a bit of honing on a 12000 stone (which I haven't got yet). It gave me a DFS with no cuts, but there's a bit of irritation.

Nice to do a complete straight shave with no damage though (sorry Mart!)

Face Lathered
Two Pass - WTG & XTG

After a fencing injury yesterday, I can barely grip anything without pain ... let alone move my right arm around ... so, left handed shave!

It went well. Once again, I face lathered the 1902 soap and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thinner tonight, perhaps down to my left-handedness this evening, but slick, smooth and protective nevertheless.

The PAL Injectomatic is my "to go" injector. The angle is so forgiving, where a DE might not be in my other hand ... nor even a 1912. The PAL Injectomatic fitted the bill for this evening's shave and I was not left wanting. Good shave, finished the blade off.

How to make everything feel better? Bathe in "the Veg". Much enjoyed.

Decent shave. Started out using a new R41 for the first pass but it was to aggressive and resulted in a few weepers and irritation so switched to the R89. I don't think I will use the 41 again until I have at least 5 days growth. I face lathered with the Tulip but next time I think I'll use a bowl; not enough backbone to be efficient.
 

Nice shave!
 
Crisp shave on a 2 day beard set on #7. G1 Executive - minty. Have better luck bowl lathering with this soap; got it to cream consistently in the bowl, but not much luck with a face scrub. Nice clean smell --- I think I'll rotate razors with this soap for the week.

Thanks Erwin!
