SOTD - 05/01/2016

Shave 22 on the Personna 74 on still going strong. Every time I use this soap I wonder why I use anything else. I might not be a millionaire but for 20 minutes I felt like one.

Great shave, nice using the Cella this week and the 1912 is a great little razor, you can wizz it round your face with little thought.
 
Wed 6th January.

Vulfix 404 mixed
Vitos Red Croap
Schick J3 Golden 500
Personna S/S [ 10 ]
Alum Rub/ Floid Vigoroso A/S

Had to happen, at 10th use the blade starts to drag- though still got a passable shave. Glad these blades seem to suit me, as they are readily available in UK. Will try the Schicks though , they will have to be good to justify the extra costs in getting them.

Need to get back to the ER/Gems, as after 2 Weeks + . am getting withdrawal symptoms. Big Decision- what to use first !

Nicked the wife's Futur today and after nicking my neck yesterday with the progress kept it on her setting of 3/3 for my passes.

Soaps wonderful, just lacking the scent punch and toxicity of the Oriental Plum.

Had a rather perfect shave this morning:

Hot Shower prep
Face lather vintage Erasmic stick
Virginiasheng Purtech
Vintage Apollo DE
Fresh Rapira Swedish Supersteel
Pinaud Bay Rum

I've had a few duff Rapira Swedes recently but this one reminded me why I stick with them, so sharp and smooth, a pleasure to use.
