Wednesday afternoon

Taylor of Old Bond Street Cedarwood cream
RazoRock Disrupter 22mm synth
Face lather
Feather Artist Club SS
Feather Professional
Alum
Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Fine Platinum after shave (which I hadn't decided on, at time of pic)

Twenty minutes of concentration paid off this afternoon. I was rewarded with a tremendous BBS result. I find that 2-3 days growth is really required to make this shavette sing. A rarely used cream may also have helped.

Incase I don't get a chance after this, can I wish all of you a safe and peaceful Yuletide; albeit drastically different from what we envisaged. Here's hoping 2021 is more optimistic.

23rd December

Razor - Razorock BBS-SS
Blade - Gillette 7 O'clock yellow
Brush - TOBS super badger
Cream - L'Occitane
Balm - TOBS Jermyn Street

A first shave with this razor and a first with the 7 o'clock yellow. It was an incredibly smooth shave, I could barely feel anything happening, but it was extremely close after my usual three passes. This could be a new favourite daily combination for me.

Gillette Silver Blue
Proraso white asb
Chanel Bleu

The lather from the Pannacrema soap was fabulous and the aroma was even better. This is a fantastic Italian soap. The shave was smooth and close, the highlight of a dull, rainy, bad news day.
