Thursday morning
Pre: Cold shower
Razors: Wade & Butcher + Anton Wingen for head
Brush: Semouge 2000
Soap: Omega
Post: proraso
AS: Alcolado Glacial
Strop: Neil Miller linnen/buffallo
Result: Oh yes!
Neil has restored this W&B (and the Wingen) and it´s a hallow ground but with the weight of a wedge, yet it has the feedback as a hallow ground (a little strange, yes?). I like it a lot!

Jewel (1) (PIF from sunburyboy)
'The Dapper' small vintage brush (Simpsons I think. From my 'grandfather-in-law's travel kit)
Body Shop original cream
Witch Hazel
Trimpers Marlborough

Not far off BBS. No nicks. A tiny bit of redness that subsided by the time I got on my bike to ride to work.
No problems with the NOS blade. Made in Sheffield is always a winner. Thanks Steve.

I kept things vintage with an heirloom travel badger. It looks like an old Simpsons. Says "The Dapper" on it. The knot is in decent nick and obviously hasn't been used much. But the handle is cracked quite badly. I repaired it with superglue. (I was originally not planning to use it. But I think I will and replace it with a Case or Wee Scott if it collapses.)

The BS cream has a strong soapy scent that pairs well with the Marlborough cologne.
 
Thursday

Futur (1.5)
Thai Superthin (4)
New Forest Superior 2201
SWK Scuttle
Dr Henk's Dutch Moss Cream
Witch Hazel
Boots Bay Rum (I know, i know it's a hair tonic....but it seems to do the trick :lol: )

I have had to change my shave routine since the Unit has decided every morning will be a PT morning! So i fully prep, and shave 1st thing. Do PT, then obviously shower, and post this shower apply AS. This seems to work, well the pores on my face are very open after PT so i imagine this would make sense. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Have a good day guys,

Thank you Slow S! It´s a gem, Neil really worked her up nice and I was happy as a pig in mudd when I found it. The scales was crap though, but orginally they were killer scales. I feel like you, W&B are most often really nice looking gals.
 
Thursday

pre: hot water and Dove bar
Wilkinson Sword bristle brush
Godrej lime shave cream
Vintage Carrara 11/16 straight
Nivea replenishing asb

A great shave today, the Godrej cream (3 for £5 from Connaught) was fantastic! Smooth, slick lather for a three-pass shave and the lime scent is just great!
I shaved at 2 o'clock and still have the lime aroma now...

I hope the other two are this good... (Palmolive lemon & Dettol citrus)

I agree! Of the three I got (Nivea and Palmolive lemon also) the Godrej is the most impressive.
