This morning:
Bulldog face wash
Feather Artist Club RG, ProGuard blade (8)
Taylor's lavender cream
Neep custom yew badger
Trumper's coral skin food
Penhaligon's Endymion cologne
Working on getting more westerly on the second neck pass. As close to bbs as I could reasonably hope

Tuesday:
T+H 1805 cream
Edwin Jagger black badger
Merkur 34C HD
Gillette 7 o'clock yellow (1)
Ogalalla bay rum limes and peppercorns
Pretty good shave. Small area missed on top lip thanks to a swollen coldsore, no matter.
Looking forward to a day off tomorrow and an all-Penhaligons shave.

I've had some fun in recent days auditioning candidates for the cull. This one is staying:

Here it is alongside a Duke 3 for comparison. Castle Forbes Lavender cream, Proraso Balm and the Jagger Chatsworth/red personna also on duty.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage Marshall Fields badger
1958 Executive/Gillette Stainless Steel (1965)
Nannys Cedar/Vetyver hard soap
SEbaMed AS Balsam
Jacomo de Jacomo EdT (think oakmoss and patchouli)
Man, this blade is a good one. Second shave was even better than the first, which isn't all that uncommon with vintage blades. This 46 year old relic shaves almost like my favored Iridiums, which is saying something.
First time trying Sharon's concoction and the performance seems very good. I'll use it a few more times and then maybe review the stuff. Heh, scentwise, the jury is still out on this one. Very unusual notes in the mix that may or may not end up being a good fit for my schnozzola.
BBS results,
Martin

Botanics face scrub
Razor Feather AC-SS
Blade Feather Light
Brush Le Tuft Chubby 1.5
Cedarwood & Clarysage cream
Alum + Witch hazel
L'Occitane Bavx Balm
Coty Raw Vanilla Eau de cologne
Jamie.
Super smooth shave from the Feather AC-SS, I now think I have the measure of this razor, still make sure you are 100% switched on or it will have you! noticed a few jars of this Founders reserve Cedarwood & Clarysage for sale in the TK-Max store it lathers up really well, and as a nice scent. I managed to pick up the three items in this for £12 the Eau de Cologne the Shaving cream plus the aftershave gel balm, very good so far. Nice two pass shave very refreshing, afternoon shave for me, also great when you can borrow that lovely bright natural light from outside, the bathroom was as bright as a summers day.
