Been wandering for days now, Mikael, and wanted to ask - did you order that SRP Thater Two Band brush?

Nah, was tempted, but with the TSR brush coming up any day (Tony :icon_wink:) and the Simpson charity combined with the excellent brushes Rod (Neep) and Bill (Bejay) makes, it doesn't seem to be anything left on my brush account :( ... :D
 
Rocket HD
Lord Super Stainless
Palmolive cream
TOBS Shaving Shop aftershave gel

A very easy shave. Quite close. I've left my sunny but uncomfortably hot flat (30c), (three fans in and windows open in bedroom) to spend a few days in swansea, which is grey and a little hot. Taken my no brand made in Germany travel size Old copy and a load of blades. Looking forward to more cracking shaves
 
Monday

Kukri - Vulfix Rose - Simpson 57 - Alum - Old Spice Whitewater

My arms were shot after martial arts class, making this a difficult shave.
Thankfully my previously damaged hamstring wasn't too bad after a 3 month lay off, but I have a new fragrance.

Monday

Merkur Progress
Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Platinum [Black Ninja]
Vie Long Boar
Kent Soap
L'Oreal 24 hr Post Shave Balm
L'Acura Vivid A/S

This shave has really surprised me, should have posted yesterday but had a really busy day with my family before going back to land of cats with no tails, today 24hrs after my shave I don't really need a shave, my face feels like I only shaved around 8hrs ago, I took the shave nice and slow with WTG, 2 x XTG and ATG, results as they say BBS :).

Personna '74 Tungsten (1)

Nivea Shaving Cream

Three pass, face lather.

Excellent! The blade is one of a series of four, of which I've never heard, from Mr Otten of this parish and it was sharp and very smooth.

:icon_razz:

Excellent blades should last you well in double figures.
