Red Flair Tip Rocket
Gillette Swede x 6
Barbus Soap
Tigis NF Brush
Barbershop Bay Rum
Slight reness around my neck, think 6 uses out a blade might have pushed a bit too far...... :shock:
Close shave though and the Bay Rum soon sorted things out...........nice razor/ blade combo, shame they don't make the blades anymore and people are asking silly money for them....... :( :(
 
Hot shower
Proraso soft soap, bowl-lathered
New Forest Tubby 2
Edwin Jagger DE89, Boots blade (3)
Nivea ASB

Huge mounds of lovely, lasting, slick, thick lather today. Perhaps I am getting a handle on the process. Again concentrating on blade angle on the across pass, got almost completely clean in three passes - the touchups could easily have been skipped. Very pleased.

I like the nivea ASB but it doesn't have the fabulous air-conditioner feeling the KoS brings. Suspect it's better for the skin though.
