Friday 5th November

Art of Shaving lavender - NF2211 - Gillette Slim on 5 - Gillette Bleue (1) - Aqua Velva


Haven't used this cream for a couple of months and I'd forgotten how good it is. It lathers up a treat in seconds. Very nice comfortable, smooth, easy shave. Finished off with Aqua Velva.
 
Proraso sensitive pre/post
Nannys Lavender Soft Soap
SOC
Gillette Slim adjustable with a Gillette 7 o'clock Sharp Edge
Boots No7 Post Shave Recovery Balm
Arko Classic Soft Krem
Obsession EDT

A really good shave, no nicks at all and very little irritation.

Even my wife just remarked that my skin was looking in good condition!

Maybe it is an omen as I have a job interview later today :)
 
NF Original
Cella
Sensor Excel
Alum
Nivea ASB

Was in a right rush this morning and for some reason I decided to use the cartridge. First cartridge shave in about a year. I find the sharp sensor excel to be one of the better cartridge shavers out there, but this shave was Awful. I look fine at the end of it. No redness and no nicks, of course. But during the shave, it felt like my hairs were being pulled out rather than cut. Not pleasant at all. The other thing I noticed was that it took almost the same time as a DE shave. Never again.
 
Friday:

Pre: Hot facecloth
Soap: Palmolive stick
Brush: New Forest 2201
Razor: Feather AS
Blade: Feather (2)
Post: Body Shop Maca Root Razor Burn Relief
Cologne: Truefitt and Hill West Indian Limes

Again, another comfortable, smooth shave. Having worked out the Feather's different angle of attack, for me it's an absolute pleasure to use and gives, with the Feather blade, a superb shave.


Have a good weekend, everyone.


Regards

Ian

Tabac stick bowl lathered with NF2211
Gillette slim 6 WTG/XTG 1ATG+buff./ Gillette super thin #3

First time with the Tobac. Enough lather to shave my whole body. Another wonderful shave today. The slim is definitely a wonderful piece of kit. All things to all men. V close and zero irritation.
Next one in the rotation is the 38R, been a few weeks, looking forward to it.
