This morning:
Nivea face wash
Feather Artist Club RG (wood), ProGuard blade (2)
Taylor's Violets cream
New Forest High Mountain Badger
Bulldog ASB
Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet cologne
Another very close, very comfortable shave. The usual spot or two to an exploratory tissue on the right side of the throat. Must try to sort that out. (It's no worse then I usually did with a DE, mind.)

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Muhle, 25 mm silvertip
Razor: Welcome
Soap: Provence Santé
AS: Code
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
New brush (from a trade) and I'm very pleased with how it behaves, some funky new badger/brush syndrome, but this is a very nice soft tip brush (even though not to floppy, was going to be my cream brush, but it'll work great with this kind of soaps too). Tall as a Polo 8 and with some heavy weight to it, just like how I like 'em

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
old Marshall Fields 2 band badger
1958 Executive/Schick Super Stainless Krona
Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation)
Barbershop Bay Rum AS
St Johns Bay Rum cologne
Tried yet another new to me vintage blade this morning, and the shave was a good one. Not quite as sharp as an Iridium, but still a blade I could use every day if needed.
It was nice not having to pay attention to detail, as I needed to do with those supersharp old Personna74 blades. Heh, matter of fact, yesterday (hours later) I noticed a good sized spot of blood under my chin from user error with the Personna. Didn't even feel the cut when it happened......sheesh these damn things are sharp bastards.
BBS results,
Martin

My first shave with a decent DE blade. Previously I've been using Wilko's 40p for a box of 5 Laser blades. This morning things changed...
Aluminium ball end tech
Taylors sandlewood cream lathered on to my mush with a Wilkinson Sword brush post shower
Gillette 7 o'clock yellow in the razor
I think that I may need some work on my technique though. My face feels great but my neck isn't so smooth, ho hum, there's always tomorrow morning.
Why do they glue the blades in to the paper? It's bit of a faff.
Toodeloo all.

Tuesday:
TOBS Almond
Bluebeards Scimitar DE
Derby blade
Shaving factory brush
Lovely shave, no nicks, WTG, XTG, ATG. No problems, nice hot flannel first.
Not used any post-shave lotion, after the brass monkeys early cycle yesterday, face is a bit chapped, so better remember to do something about it tomorrow morning in the 2mins I have spare - just like every morning. Inflating the tyres will have to wait if I want to savour the sweet smell of the almond again.
