First proper shave with my first New Forest Superior Badger. I'm delighted with it. Used it with old favourites and added a crystal platinum to the Merkur.

Thursday
Merkur Slant 37c
feather (2)
Pure Badger
Nanny's Citrus soap
Alum
Coral Skin food

I used the slant yesterday and had a dfs- shave, today, while smooth to the touch, quite a lot of redness on the neck. I feel this razor will give me a great shave, I just need to get used to it, to get the best from it.
 
Thursday AM

Merkur 15c OC
Red Personna (2)
Vulfix 404 Bodger
BS Maca Root Cream

Nivea ASB
Tabac AS

Much better result than yesterday. Cracking, light little razor the 15c. Perhaps the 11c just does not like the Red Personna? I'll try it next week with either a Merkur or an Astra blade, both of which I know are good in that razor.

I'm almost at the end of the Maca Root tube so I'm hammering away at it until it's gone. Tough job but (as they say) someone has to do it.

TOBS Sandalwood cream
Thayers Lemon Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera
Jasper Conran Man AS Balm

Going for a no-alum, no-aftershave few days - just for a wee change and to see if my face notices any difference! So far, my skin is less dry & tight afterwards (despite me washing the alum off when I use it), so perhaps the alum's responsible?
 
I think the alum will be responsible, I hadn't used any for a long time, then got one this week and my face is noticably 'tighter' than previously if not outright dry. I've taken to rinsing it off and then following it with some balm, which works quite nicely.

EJ DE87
Trumpers Limes cream
Gillette 7 O'Clock yellow
Commodore
RazorRock alum
Aquatonic
RSC Balm

First shave with a yellow and it was lovely, three passes, very close finish and just a little tingling on my neck which I doubt will turn into a red patch. No nicks either, which makes a change from Derbys.

Something new today came as a free gift with a new Vie Long brush (not the brush in the picture) - Proraso Liquid Cream After Shave. I expected a menthol blast which I'm not too keen on. I was pleasantly surprised. A pleasing aroma left a nice cool feeling and soft skin. Martin de Candre helped too. A little tribute to Scottish golf in the foreground.

A very lovely shave, this razor shaves me very good indeed . Brought out the big brush and did two passes on face and one on head, had to strop inbetween (heavy stubble on head).
