Proraso sensitive pre/post
Briallen's Myrica soap sample
Simpson Keyhole 2
Gillette Slim adjustable
Gillette Super Thin
GFT Coral skin food
Arko Classic Soft Krem

My sample of soap arrived yesterday, so I thought that I would give it a go today. It lathered up well and delivered a pretty good shave and my skin feels lovely and smooth.
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage Marshall Fields badger
1960 fatboy/Iridium
Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation)
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Knize Sec EdT

First time trying this particular fatboy. I'm thinking of putting it up for sale and wanted to make sure everything was kosher. I was happy to find it a very nice performer and now am tempted to keep it........heh. I have a couple extras around somewhere, otherwise......sheeesh.

BBS results,

Martin

A "round the world shave" there, Egyptian blade in a German razor, Turkish soap applied with a Portugese brush. Finished off with some American witchazel and some French aftershave and EDT.

Maybe I should start supporting the home side a bit more.

Wedding dance tonight hence the expensive smellies at the end.

Slight hangover from a neighbour's party and his home-brew. It's a lovely drink, but it tends to stop my legs from working.

Hot shower, face scrub with Body Shop macca root scrub.
Prorasso pre-shave cream
Flair Tip Superspeed
Personna Red blade
Edwin & Jagger premium shave cream (aloe vera)
Omega 10005 boar brush
Prorasso A/S.

After using modern DE razors since starting my journey through DE shaving, then getting my hands on a couple of vintage Gillette razors, I have gotta say the old ones seem to perform much better. The two I have tried are quite mild shavers but an absolute pleasure to shave with.
After my shave I mixed the Prorasso pre-shave cream and A/S together, then rubbed all over face and neck, this works well for me and I shall continue to do this.
Again, the E&J cream performs 100%, really thick and slippery stuff. :)
