Monday

6/8 Air Brand
The Soap Alchemist's Exotic soft soap
Simpson's Commodore X1
Razorock alum stick
RSC Post-Shave Daily Skin-soothing Balm
Prof Blighty's Olde Mulberry Cologne

I'll tell you what, the RSC balm is by far and away the most moisturising balm I have and it was only £1 from Poundland last year. I feels thicker and takes longer to be absorbed into the skin, but by the jings it really does leave my old chops feeling smooth & supple all day long!

Decided to take the Gotta 120 back out for a spin, it hadn't seen my face since the Gotlieb Hammerfahr arrived just before xmas..

Quick comparison, the Gotta was my sharpest razor, until the Gotlieb arrived, it's a lot more forgiving than the Gotlieb.
All in all a good shaver, but if I had to let one of the 2 go at one point, no contest on which one it'd be.

King of Shaves pre shave oil that had been piffed to me. (love this stuff!)
Nanny's Lemony Lime with goat milk, first try with this, very nice!
Decided to try no alum today, since I had no cuts/nicks.
T&H 1805 ASB & Old Spice AS
and of course my faithful 2211 :D

Nice shave all in all :D
