Friday
Kropp 5/8
Trumper Razor/Shark Super Chrome
New Forest 2201 Brush
Mitchells Wool Fat Soap
L'Occitane Cade asb
Had a little more time, so decided to use the straight before work. Not done that before. I did run out of time and switched to the DE.
The Kropp felt poor this morning. I'd only had a one pass shave yesterday, so had a decent amount of growth to mow down. Problem is, the Kropp decided that it preferred to pull the hair out rather than to slice it - the second reason why the DE came out.
Very poor.

Friday morning.
Rush job.
Quick hot towel.
T+H ultimate comfort pre oil
Body Shop maca root cream, Ed Jagger black badger
Gillette Sensor (2)
Ogalalla Bay Rum limes and peppercorns
Just okay. Working 6 days this week plus test shaves for Artisan's new soap so couldn't face a 2 pass DE shave twice in 12 hours. Sorry.

If I had to use but one razor blade, it would be Astra Superior Platinum.

Good Friday morning,
Wilkinson Sword Classic razor
Feather blade
Nanny's Ice & a Slice soap
Omega boar
Proraso AS splash
Boots moisturiser
Hugo Boss Hugo cologne
I've been wanting to try the Wilky for ages. Just looking at it you can see that it's a mild razor. Usual WTG then XTG, resisting the temptation as with all mild razors to overshave. The result is that first impressions of this razor are good.
Thanks
