Friday:

Afternoon, everyone

Prep: Claus Porto Lime oil face soap
Razor: EJ DE89
Blade: Astra Superior stainless (5)
Brush: Vulfix Grosvenor Bodger
Shave soap: Irisch Moos
A/S: I Coloniali Ebano
Cologne: something very strong tonight, maybe Kouros

A good, end-of-week shave. My sense of smell has started to tease me with promises of a return, hence the strong aftershave which I get faint hints of from time to time and my thoughts of a real caveman cologne for tonight. I also made the elementary error of going on-line to check out loss of taste and smell after a heavy cold. Big mistake.

Friday:

La Toja stick
Vulfix 660
Feather Artist Club SS
Pro Guard blade
Professor Blighty's Green Ginger AS
LEA AS Balm
DR Harris Windsor EdT

Very nice. WTG, XTG and ATG and totally smooth.

 

[Drroly]

Pre: Clinique facial cleansing bar and hot water.
Brush: Custom Neep silvertip
Razor: Ever Ready Streamline and Super Adjustable
Blade: Gem single edge and Merkur double edge
Cream: TOBS Sandalwood
Post: Trumper's fragrance free moisturiser
Scent: Body Shop Arber EDT

WTG and XTG with the Streamline, then one very careful ATG pass with the Super set to 1. Lovely close shave today and no irritation. Definitely worth the hassle of using two razors.

The Arber EDT got some positive comments. Didn't tell them it was Bodyshop!

Red tip
Feather blade
Kent BK4 Brush
Taylor's sandalwood shaving cream
Geo.f.trumper sandalwood skin food
Geo.f.trumper sandalwood cologne to finish

Well this razor arrived in the post this afternoon, and after a bath in barbicide, and a polish, and some more cleaning, was I going to not shave with it? :angel:

With 2 days of heavy beard to munch through, it was either going to rip me a new asshole... or not.... What a nice beautifully balanced razor this is, it's not as aggressive
as I was led to believe however..well in my hands.

BSS With out nick or cut, and no irritation was the outcome :icon_cheesygrin:

 

[Str8 SHAVER]

Razor - TI 'Wheatfield'
Strop - 3" Snake, Shell Cordovan & Genuine Linen Hanging Razor Strop
Prep - Hot Towel, Palmolive S/S
Brush - 'Mama Chub' (Chubby 2 Two Band)
Soap - Tabac
Cold Rinse/ Witch Hazel/ Tabac

'Mama Chub' and Tabac laid the foundations for another great shave with the 'Wheatfield'...

 

[NotTheStig]

Vitos shaving soap (think it's the almond and coconut one)
Birth year long handled Super Adjustable on 6 with Schick Plus Platinum blade
Arko Aqua after shave cream

Nice shave. Very relaxing after a hard but not unpleasant day... week in fact. I love the Vitos smell. Wish they did an aftershave balm that smelt exactly the same.
