Thanks to PaulD for the Lord SC's not sure after one shave if these are the same as Shark SC's.
The PdeP soap is bone hard and will need a little more learning, nice fragrance and nice finish.

I really like the scent of this Uruguayan soap (hard cream? in this case, is very hard!), a lavender fragrance, with some sweeter notes. The soap has an excellent glide and protection, that leaves nothing to be desired.
Another surprise was Emporio Body Store's Affair ASB, from Brasil, very refreshing, ideal for this warmer days, and a very nice, "cologny" aroma.
 
Good morning.

Merkur HD
Wilkinson
Bottega Uomo
Semogue 830
Myrsol Emulsion
Miller Harris Tabac

Don't know about all the SMN's and the MdC's, but if this Eur 3 shave soap/cream runs out, it will definitely be replaced.
Perfect for my skin, although not an outstanding performer in post-shave moisturizing or during-the-shave slickness.

No photo today as I had to rush off early for a meeting we have now outside town.
 
Shower
Radio 4

EJ DE89
Astra
Connaughts Bay Rum
Men U Brush
One Planet
Gucci Sport EDT

Three passes and a head shave, tried a cold water one, very refreshing. Not sure I could do it in the bleak mid winter though
:cool:
 
Thursday:

Merkur Slant 37c
Tiger
New Forest two band
Palmolive cream
Bulldog asb

A mighty fine shave.

After Palmolive Sunday, I find that I keep coming back to using the cream. After using the Acqua di Parma cream yesterday I've concluded that for me, the Palmolive outperforms it in every way. And costs 20 times less. Crazy :shock:

The Shave

Hot towl
Gillette Super Speed
Gillette 7 O' Clock Double edged razor blades (yellow box)
Pure Badger Shaving Brush
Nanny's soap (Ice & slice)
Alum block
Witch hazel
Trumpers skin food (Limes)
No. 74 Victorian Lime Aftershave

Just two passes and light touch ups (WTG & XTG) as I was feeling a little lazy.

Very impressed with the Nanny's soap it will did give a very nice cooling sensation to the shave especially with my cold water splash.

Sigh time to get dressed and have breakfast before leaving for work, one more day on the late shift.
