Well, after a hard training ride, it was a shower and a shave.
Crown and Sword Straight
Wilkinson Sword Brush
TOBS sensitive cream
Alum
ISIS ASB

Lovely smooth shave. Got a nick on my chin when i was just trying to get to an area :oops:
Needed to tidy up abit on my chin with the DE, so:
Merkur 34HD
Iridium Super Blade

Smooth shave, no irritation, one nick, which weeped.

'47 Superspeed
Gillette Silver Blue
Neo custom boar
Mix of Williams cream and Palmolive soap
Musgo Real aftershave

Had a bit of Williams cream left from a sample so decided to go for a Super Lather with Palmolive. Not very exciting.

Sunday

EJ DE87 + Feather
Vulfix 404
Speick cream
Trumper's Lime skinfood

First run out for the Boardger

:eek: Flippin 'eck! It's shed about 6-7 hairs already! At this rate I'll be left with just the nicely turned (and weighted) handle. Seem to lather up okay - still needs breaking in, I guess. But it does seem a bit 'hollow' compared to my usual Pure Badger Vulfix, which might not be the 'best' but has served me well so far. Mustn't grumble considering the price :?

EJ, Feather, Speick, Trumper's: all sound, lovely, very good, etc, etc.

Sunday Night

EJ DE89 + Derby
Vulfix 404 Boar
C&E Nomad Soap
Boots ASB
Hugo Boss EDT

After a superficial Saturday am shave I had a fair bit of bear growth. It was a satisfying shave, but also highlighted bits lacking from my technique which need work. The new C & E soap is great.

Monday

Merkur HD

Nice start to Monday... that Arko snifter does grow on you. Probably because of the fantastic lather it produces

Sunday

Kent BK4
Fenton 6/8

Irisch Moos
Taylors Sandalwood a/s

I mention this because it was my first go with Irisch Moos, a sample courtesy of Ollie, and it's another winner. Actually I thought it performed better than Tabac - strange since it's supposed to be the same stuff more or less. While I'm at it, Speick also impressed me the other day (another pif from the Rev), so it's likely I'll need to dust off the grater and requisition a couple more ramekins.
 
Re: Shave of The Day w/c Saturday 30th Jan 2010.

Merkur 34HD
Iridium Super
Wilkinson Sword brush
Crabtree and Evelyn Sienna soap
Alum
Nivea ASB

Smooth shave, no irritation on the neck. After the shave when i put the ASB on it burnt abit. Not had that for a long time. Changing blade for the next shave tomorrow. It was either the 3rd or 4th shave with that blade anyway.
