Monday

Mach 3
Simpson's Best Badger Special
Ingram Shaving Cream
Nivea 'Cool Kick' asb

I needed waking up this morning, and the Ingram certainly did that!

Before I get abuse or even banned for my use of a Mach 3, please have a look at the little experiment that I did and documented over on Shave My Face. Link Below.

no abuse from me mate, i've still got a Mach3 and a Sensor (better than the M3) in the wardrobe somewhere.

i've said it before and i'll say it again, the principles of (proper)wet-shaving means just that, WET!
as long as you use a brush and a good soap/cream, to me the razor is the least important part of the equation.
it was the advice i gave to all the newbies on B+B and i stand by it

sorry for messing the Shave of the Day thread

EJ Best Badger
Old Spice mug soap
Feather Portable
Super Iridium
Harvard A/S

Got the Iridiums a while ago to give them a whirl as everyone over on shave my face reckoned they were equivalent to the second coming. Got a decent shave this morning but the strange thing was I had a very visible stubble by lunchtime. Usually takes a bit longer than that when I use my injector.

Tuesday

Dovo 6/8" "Best Quality"
Palmolive Classic
Men-u boar bristle brush
Boots Botanics post-shave balm
Styptic pencil

A smooth shave. The rule appears to be "don't think about shaving anywhere without foam on it". A very close shave. Minimal damage. Base of neck still giving problems as is area under ears. Otherwise superb.
 
Monday

Mitchell's Wool Fat
Proraso pre/post, used post

Would have been better if I didn't have to use a kettle for hot water due to an immersion heater crisis, but not bad nonetheless.
