Another interesting session.

Kent BK8 Silvertip
Pre Shave oil (olive oil actually - still waiting other ingredients and the T&H posh stuff)
John Lewis Shaving Soap
Gillette Superspeed/Super Thin blade
DR Harris Milk of Cucumbers and Roses moisturiser

The Kent 'Floppy" worked up a super lather with the John Lewis which was a real pleasure - nice and creamy. Great value for £2.50.(The soap!)Who says this type of brush is not well suited to soaps?
The Superspeed gave a nice close shave without feeling as though it was touching anything. And the olive oil? My skin feels so good now, nothing will convince me that the oil did not play some small part in it. So it's pre shave for me for a while now. And it should be better when I get my proper stuff. Will report.
 
Thursday

Aqueous preshave
Merkur HD
Omega Boar
Boots Shaving Soap
Derby (2)
Aqua Velva
Boots el cheapo moisturiser
Musgo Real Oak Moss Cologne

Best in ages... Derbies are obviously the blade for me. So no doubt I'll try something else tomorrow...
 
Thursday
Custom Badger
Palmolive Stick
'71 Superspeed
Super Thin (D6!)
Harvard

6 shaves out of one blade! I reckon 7 may just be pushing it though, still a hell of a lot better than the 2 I used to get out of personnas.
 
Friday:
Gillette Aristocrat De Luxe (Gold #66) / 7 O'Clock (the black one)
Crabtree & Evelyn Pure Badger Brush
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
Taylor's #74 Victorian Lime Aftershave

Now, I'm going fishing.
 
Friday

Ever Ready 1912
GEM Stainless Blade
Simpson's Best Badger Special
Tabac Shaving Stick
Nivea asb

The GEM blades arrived yesterday, which I found a little confusing, and decided to give it a lash this morning with the 1912.

My first shave with the Ever Ready, and all went well.

Friday

Speick stick
1305
Ikon open comb
Gillette super thin D1
Alum
Aqua Velva with 444.

First shave with the Ikon, close.....2 passes with the Ikon feels like 3 with the with a Merkur HD. I will give it some time and report in due course.
 
Friday

Last couple of days have given me nice shaves with a previously untried combo. But that's the thrill of it.

Back to basics:

MWF = forgotten just how blumming good this is.
60s Tech
Yellow 7 O'clock
Alum etc etc
