MWF Hand Soap,
Sir Irisch Moos SS Stick,

Giving the straight an other day off and my face a rest.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
old Ever Ready butterscotch badger
Schick L type injector/Schick Plus Platinum (NOS)
Speick SS (milled into a bowl)
vintage Caron 'Yatagan' AS
Well, I had the injector out anyway to trim the mustache later in my shave, and figured I'd just use it for the whole shave. Coulda been better if I'd have used a different blade, but it was still a nice experience. If I was gonna use the injector regularly I'd pick an old Personna blade of some type. Heh, some of those blades can be amazingly sharp, which is a good thing in this case.
BBS results,
Martin

Matey Bubble Bath
HD500 & SM(1)
GFT Lime Cr. & EJ BB
Alum
Nivea ASB
The lime was from a sample, which seems to have all but dried out. Must get something lime-y as I think I like it, will have to look around.

GEM Micromatic
GEM SE blade
Tabac soap
Simpsons Commodore X1
Lloyds Chemist Witch Hazel
Simple for Men AS Balm
Tabac AS
Totall impressed by the Micromatic; a two-pass BBS. It's the only SE that doesn't threaten to slice the skin if I run it up and over the point of my chin or my jawline when clearing the problem areas; I'm well-pleased with this latest purchase.

Pre - Hot shower
Brush - Simpson Wee Scot
Soap - Dr Harris Lavender
Razor - Dovo 6/8 Bismarck
AS - Dr Harris milk of cucumber and roses sample
My straight shaves are getting better and closer each day now with this new razor. The wee scot still amazes me at how much lather it can hold for its size compared to bigger brushes. Decided to miss out the alum and witch hazel AS and just use the moisturiser. Very comfortable!

Gillette Mach 3 turbo
Ever Ready 150 with NF 220 Knot
Proraso Sensitive
First time with the Proraso, not over impressed no irritation from it but the shave is noware as nice or close as I get with Palmolive. The New Forest Knot WOW, Peter claimed it was as soft if not softer than a Simpsons two band, he was being modest it's far softer and from the word go better performing. If it was worth re knotting my Simpsons that's the knot that would go in.
