Monday:
Hot shower
T+H Lavender cream, Edwin Jagger black badger
Merkur HD, Lord super chrome (1)
Cold rinse, alum
Ogalalla bay rum, lime and peppercorns flavour
First time with a Lord SC, not all that sharp really, and there's a lot of roughness on the face where a 7 o'clock would have swept clean. Still, I tried, and it's presentable enough, but it's not going to be a long term blade.

Gillette Ball End Tech, English
Lord SC (2)
Grosvenor 404 Bodger
Yardley (Vintage) Soap
Blue Stratos AS
Nivea ASB
Three pass, face lathered.
Good enough. The Yardley soap is terrific and it's about 50 years old.
I rescued the Blue Stratos from my Dads' stash but it's going down the plug tonight; it smells off to me; ugh. Can after shaves actually go off?

Lat night I franticly had to search for my Hammersfahr, because I wanted to use it..
Looked high and low for it, to no avail, but it turned up this morning. (I was worried I accidentally sent it off to someone!)
Well, what a treat, this blade is truly amazing!

Strop: 3" Basic Bridle strop by Neil

Brush: Fidos Pure

An almost "in house" shave today, and it just goes to show what great people we have here!
I might have to see the Prof about a prep oil and an ASB, to make it a 100% in house shave

Monday,
forgive me but my first post here and new here and first shave with a DE razor:
Hot towl
Merkur 34c
Derby blade
Pure Badger Shaving Brush
Taylor of Old Bond St Shaving Cream (Avocado)
Proraso Shave Cut Healing Gel (just a wee bit for first shave).
Geo F Trumper Coral Shaving Skin Food
First time using a DE and opted to shave just downwards to let my face adapt and for me to learn a new style of shaving. My first sweep was grand but the second the cream was a little running and my techique needs some learning around my neck.
I think I went just a little to slow and a little bit extra pressure as I was just a little nervous
However much less discomfort and only a little bit sore arround the lower neck, I put this down to my technique as its only the first day and I am on holiday for a week before starting a new job so a good week to get up to speed.
Not sure about the Taylor cream, I might try the Cyril Salter Luxury Shaving Cream (Indian Sandalwood) tomorrow.
