Saturday morning

Brush: New Forest
Razor: H Boker "Griplus"
Soap: Da Bomb Potomac
AS cologne: Fonex mixed with a little Davidoff Cool Water
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
Tried to add more water to Da Bomb today, but I think I found the sweetspot yesterday. Nicked my upper (stiff ) lip, but nothing serious. Nice one! http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k615/micke2010/SOTD/PC100007800x600.jpg
This pic was exactly 800x600 no luck though only: "Your images may only be up to 600 pixels wide."

A superb shave _ I would even go so far as to say BBS all over, and its been a while I have had that!. I really need to try the white proraso soap soon.
Saturday:
Hot towel
404 Mix/Scodioli Laudanum
Superspeed /Feather
Alum
Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve.
And very nice it was too, although I think I'm almost at the stage of deciding that Feathers are not going to be a regular blade for me.

I hadn't been posting my SOTD recently. Todays was such a great shave, I had to share it. I missed shaving yesterday as I had a visitor earlier than I expected. Also I applied some moisturiser last night before going to bed.
Tabac - Semogue LE 2010 - Gillette Fatboy 5/7 - Gillette 7 o'clock Yellow (2) - Ogallala Bay Rum Sandalwood

First shave using the Semogue LE 2010, it's a very nice brush. Very soft tips and good density. It's a bigger brush than I'm used to and I'm very pleased with it. Shave went well. This aftershave has really grown on me, I'll have to pick up a bigger bottle when the smaller tester size I have has run out.
Warm Water Splash
Klar Kabinette Shave Soap
New Forest #2201 Superior Badger
J. Holler Tower Brand 126
Tony Miller Artisan Strop .. 40 Linen/70 Latigo
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea AS Balm
Floïd Suave AS
A benchmark of shaves..
The Klar Kabinett soap was a goodie included in an order from Bull Goose Shaving. It is absolutely phenominal! It would take alot to knock da' Fat from #1, but this product is knockin' on the door. I've learned everything I need to know from the Tower Brand straight, and it's time for the next victim... Stay tuned... Same Bat-time... Same Bat-channel!
