God morgon.
Fredag​​:
Revisor 6/8 > Omega No. 34 > Dovo Eucalyptus > Myrsol Agua Balsamica > Fitjar Neroli > Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui Eau de Toilette
Very good. Slightly cleaner than last time, less redness, certainly presentable, took 25 minutes, happy indeed.
I applied less pressure and tried to work on the correct angle, it's a matter of getting used to it, but once you get to see how well it works, it is positively surprising...

No shave today.
The pictures in the beard thread have inspired me.
Once I've got a decent growth I will be able to extend my tache (which is now standing at a modest 6" from tip to tip).
Unfortunately I don't grow any whiskers high up on my cheeks so I might just be confined to the basic handlebar.

Men U Brush
RSC Cream
Essentials Balm (head)
Ogalalla Bay Rum Sage and Cedar AS/skin toner
Ogalalla Bay Rum Cologne
The sage and cedar is certainly a milder concoction than the sandalwood version. Great on the skin.

The alum came out today as I was a little cavalier in my S-N pass on my neck and brought forth a couple of spots of claret.
Smell fab though

Merkur 34c
Gillette 7 o' Clock Yellow (3)
Grosvenor 404 Bodger
Ingram's Cream
Proraso ASB
Proraso AS
Three pass, face lathered.
Very close - I could get used to these blades.
My 404 is doing very nicely again; I had previously shampooed it (to give it an annual cleanout/service) and it has taken a few shaves to get it back to optimum performance. Great value, do anything brush. If the Swiss Army had a brush this would be it.

Hot towl
Gillette Slim adjustable (Setting 4)
Feather Double Edged Razor Blade (new)
Vulfix 404 Brush (Boar/badger mix)
Genuine Ogallala Bay Rum Shaving Soap Stick, Bay Rum, Limes & Peppercorn
Alum
Witch Hazel Trumpers skin food (Sandalwood)
Genuine Ogallala Bay Rum Aftershave, Bay Rum, Limes & Peppercorn
The Ogallala soap stick is an odd one, got a lovely almost reminded me of clay like first lather and the next pass was a bit runny. I get a feeling I need to work on this soap a little to get it to work with. I am wondering if my water is making the differnence as it is quite hard water round my way.
But a very nice smell and just two passes (WTG, XTG) and my skin feels very soft and smooth.
Nice way to start a Friday really

Gillette Fatboy with Shark SS (new)
New Forest Tubby 2
Cella
PompeyBill's Orange Aftershave
PompeyBill's Orange Cologne
Professor Blighty's Yellow Unction
A shave from the gods today. After being a devout fan of Feather blades, I decided to give the Sharks a try after reading of the good reviews, and what a blade they are (this was my second blade). Fantastically smooth during the shave.
It was also my first day using my Tubby 2 brush, after soaking it and giving it a quick break-in lather last night. Gave it a good few rounds in the Cella, and ended up with a lovely, thick creamy lather, which was enough for four passes plus my head shave. Absolutely delighted with the Tubby.
Finish off with my own make smelles and the Prof's unction, and my face is absolutely BBS, no irritation and I smell and feel great.
