Saturday
Razor: EJ DE87
Blade: Feather
Brush: Tulip 2 (2 band) Super
Soap: D R Harris Almond

I have given the Tulip a good run-out but find I prefer the scubbier feel of the fan-shaped Duke 2.

Also Wednesday, Thursday & Friday.
Feather Portable DE Travel Razor
Bluebird Hi Stainless (1 - 4)
EJ Travel Pure Badger
Palmolive Cream
Tabac AS
Day 1 with this razor was a learning experience; two or three weepers and I seriously thought of flogging it on after the break. It got much better as I got used to it and as a result I can and do recommend it. Get them dirt cheap from Pauldog. The rest of the 'guys in the band' performed as you would expect.
Mrs Spirit and I have had a few days in a family caravan just outside Rothbury. Nothing much happened.

Saturday, Late Afternoon:
- - cleansed with Thayers' Lemon Witch Hazel
- Cobalt Blue SuperBadger custom by beejay
- ToOBS Lemon & Lime shave cream
- F4 Gillette Fatboy with a 7 O'Clock PermaSharp (Indian Green)
- My Mighty Menthol AlumWater spritz- & MICA stick for where the PermaSharp pinked my fitrum[/list:u][/list:u]
- Thayers' Lemon Witch Hazel
- Alcolado Glacial[/list:u]
Great Googa Mooga!- It just gets closer and and closer. [/list:u][/list:u]
I was negatively impressed by the Green Indians the first couple of times I used them.- I figured once the 5 pack sampler was done, they were off the list; in the fatboy at 5 they done alright though. [/list:u]
Sadly I had a tremble and pinked my filtrum, about a cm or so below the ol' honker.- ... bit of claret flowed for the last part-pass until I got out the Magical Ice Crystal Alum deodorant stick and stemmed the tide, as it were.
- My AlumWater was not enough to dam the blood; didn't think it would be, as it is much milder than using a block rubbed on the skin.[/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]

Saturday Evening
RSC Face Scrub (50p - had to buy it...... & its friend! )
Muhle R89 & Super Thin (2)
GFT Almond Cream & EJ BB
GFT Portugal EdT
Night of a couple of firsts. The face scrub was ok especially for the price and did a good job of softening up. The R89 was very nice straight away, no nicks and no drama. The GFT products were samplers, i found that although the first pass with the cream was fine, the second pass needed more water as it was deffo dry - not something i have experienced with other creams - ah well live n' learn . The EdT?, hmm..... Limoncello would be my best guess, not something i minded but the Mrs was not impressed - nevermind, 5 more samples to run through and a bottle of Aqua Velva on the side waiting its turn !

Saturday Evening
L'Oreal face wash in the shower
New Forest Superior 2201
Godrej Lime Deluxe cream
Gillette Superspeed
Derby (1)
Old Spice Lime
All out lime tonight, combined with Original Source Lime shower gel - first use of a Derby blade, and I was very impressed. A relaxing shave in that it was only two passes, but feels as close as a three pass shave with a Personna. Hardly any stinging from splashing on the OS Lime, and I even put some on my neck which I've never dared do before! Happy days

Schick Injector Type 'J'
Personna Injector Blade
EJ Best Badger
Proraso
Boots Witch Hazel
Nivea Sensitive asb
Trumper Bay Rum Cologne
I've been avoiding anything with alcohol or menthol in it for about a week with excellent results. This morning, in the interest of science, I dug out the Proraso (the green tube). My face feels slightly hotter than it has done all week. Hmmm...
