I bought several pots of the old Coates. It's as good as ever! Lime today.
I'm finding the Merkur just a little too close. Just a touch of soreness despite virtually no pressure. Back to the EJ Chatsworth soon.
Body Shop balm and red personna blade, plus a NF prototype.
Pray tell.. :shave

Today I shaved with:
Gillette Fatboy + Laser Super Platinum
New Forest Tubby 2
Old Spice Cream
Alum stone
Aqua Velva Lotion
Arko Classic Oily Cream
I are liking the blades Laser in the Fatboy. Arko Oily Cream is very concentrated :shock: , you only need a small amount, it is very moisturizing

Razor:IBERIA 13 Doble Temple
Strop: Pressed wool+latigo (25/50)
Brush:Kim Son Vu Handicraft silvertip in buffalo horn
lather:Christian Dior "Eau sauvage" SC + Ingram
AS: Thayer's Witch Hazel astringent
EdT:Annick Goutal, eau du sud
Comments:The shaving cream alliance has give to the good perfomance of Ingram the top scent of the Eau Sauvage SC. The Kimson has no problems to get the best lather from a shaving cream. The Iberia have visited the C12K to improve the edge, I have enjoyed a smooth shave, specially against the grain. I am not a great fan of the Trumper's skinfood, but this time it works for me.

Trying out another couple of Trumper samples for the first time...
NF Tubby 2
GFT extract of limes cream
Gillette Slim-twist
Boots blade (2)
GFT limes skin food
A mixed shave, really. Never quite got the lather the way I wanted it - I think in seeking perfection I may have gone past where I should have. It lubricated but I didn't have the thickness and cushion I've had recently. Surprisingly little scent to the cream too. Better luck next shave?
Stopped after three passes without touchups, with the slightly sub-par lather anything more would have felt risky. Still a very very decent shave. It will be interesting to see how it holds up through tomorrow.
Liked the skin food a lot. Felt nice, smelled nice.

Thursday
Merkur 38C
Gillette Platinum 'Swede' Blade
New Forest 2201 Brush
Erasmic Shaving Cream
Alum
Nivea Cool Kick asb
Considering the price of the Erasmic cream, it works very nicely. The scent seemed to be particularly appropriate this morning, but I don't really know why.
