Saturday

New combination:

New Kai
Futur
Vergulde Hand stick
Alum, witch hazel
A drop of Creed Imperial Millesime EdT from a sample. Nice but can't afford a bottle.

The Vergule Hand didn't give enough cushion for a fairly aggresive shave.

Sunday

Semogue 1305 (really looking scruffy now - still not sure how long I will use this)
Merkur 38c/red personna
Muhle Aloe Vera soap (thanks to Frederick) - how do you get the two dots above the 'u' ?
Tabac A/S balm
Dirty Bird brush scuttle - I'm thinking that the proper scuttle enables consistently warm lather to be better achieved.

Impressed with the Muhle - very moisturising even though the lather was not profuse - probably my inexperience with it.

Feeling good now. Off for morning coffee in Lymington. Great Saturday street market if you are visiting the area.

Shavemac custom pure
Mühle sandalwood soap (I press shift+ ¨, release both, then press u - like this: ü ;). Or just write Muehle, it's correct as well.
Muehle R89
Harris Pink
Harris Milk

Sunday

Futur
Swede
Simpson's Best Badger Special

Picked up the Boots stick yesterday, and I'm very pleasantly surprised.

Shave of the last fortnight
tiny little boar travelling brush
Tech with a Feather or WS UK
Palmolive stick
Proraso pre/post

the trouble with this was the brush which simply wasn't up to the job, so I was pleased to get back to:

Saturday
Omega boar
Flare tip Rocket
Red IP

Tabac
Taylors sandalwood a/s
Arran Aromatics balm

Nothing out of the ordinary for me except the balm, but it was nice to have plenty of lather at last.

Monday

Trumpers Coral
Merkur HD w/ Merkur (5th use)
Proraso
Silvertip Badger
KOS SPF8 moisterizer

First shave since Friday, probably a shave to far for the merkur but it still did a good enough job.
 
Monday. 12 Oct.

Merkur HD
Merkur Blade (day 2)
Erasmic Cream
EJ Pure Badger

Nivea ASB
Tabac AS

No shower beforehand (slept in...well its Montag, after all). A workday shave. 3 Passes (W,X & ATG) plus touch-ups.

Very good result. I'm really loving the Merkur blades, contrary to the received wisdom, I find them very good in an HD.
