I got this razor back with new leopard wooden scales yesterday and I _love_ it. Funny thing though was I didn´t think extremly much of her, when I sent her away, I liked the blade and the back enough to keep her though. But boy did she do a come back! (Thank you Neil!)

Wednesday

Shower
Astra (4) & Slim
Proraso Green SC & EJ BB
Alum
Speick AS

bit of a departure here, thought i would have a crack with a tube of Proraso Green (from Tony aka AJP) to compare against the pretty good performance of a tube of Mcleans ... sorry, I meant Ingrams.

Good stuff this Proraso, very good stuff in fact! i think it may end up being fairly popular with people, especially if they design a range of products around it :lol: .

Had to use Speick AS as i thought it was my best match, at least until i get hold of my Aqua Velva, which i believe to be Mentholly? Wouldn't be the end of the world to buy the Proraso AS :roll:

But does the Soap match the Cream on performance and 'flavour'??

Wednesday

My new Merkur 38C
Gillette Super Thin blade (1st time using these)
Hair conditioner as pre shave
Palmolive stick milled into ramekin dish
An excellent one of Fidos silvertip brushes
Thayers cucumber witch hazel toner
Nivea sensitive balm

Excellent shave. The 38C was tremendous. Liked the Super Thins too.
I avoided my Alum bar today as have been getting a slight rash and just sprayed Thayers on. The cucumber is lovely and cooling. Nivea ASB and no rash so will continue without alum or maybe just dab it if I nick myself as opposed to rubbing it all over my face.

Thursday morning
Pre: Hot shower
Straight: Thomas Turner, Everlasting
Brush: Jade handle 24 mm silvertip
Soap: Vulfix English Rose
Strop: Neil Miller, buffalo/Linnen
Post: Proraso
As: Old Spice Musk
Result: Very nice shave today :shave
A very nice near wedge that shaves very smooth and keeps an mean edge at the same time. HHT is a piece of cake with her now, thank you Neil, after only a couple of mm the hair splits . I love the old formula in the Indian Old Spice, gives a very nice sting and today I first rubbed the Proraso in good and got a very nice sting... Then waited a couple of minutes, to get the best out of it and then rubbed the OS in good and got an awesome sting again !
