my red irritated neck is back, it's quite bizarre it's worsens as the day and then week goes on, 2 days rest at the weekend seems to almost get rid of it then the cycle begins again
 
Wednesday:

Sensor (Chatsworth)
Tulip T2 (2-band)
D R Harris Almond soap

Meeting an old workmate for a round of golf later (only 9 holes, par-3). I reckon I'm nearly ready for an adults' course now. Got one 1 mile from my house and another 2.5 miles away.
 
Wednesday

Futur
Timor
New Forest 2201
Cella
Tabac a/s

Quite Autumnal this morning. The valley below our house was full of mist which was lit by the rising sun. If I had got time I'd have got my camera out. Unfortunately, I have to work for a living.

Wednesday morning
Pre: Hot shower
Brush: Semouge 2000
Razors: Magnetic (I think it´s a D Peres) + Merkur 25c
Soap: Tabac
Post: Proraso
AS: Tabac
Strop: Neil Miller
Result: Ok

Head is cleaner than the face. I did the head first and even though I had enogh lather for a couple of more rounds than I did (I did 2 on head and 2 + touch up on face), I only got a half decent shave on face. Maybe I was a little to stressed.

Wednesday

White proraso pre/post
NF2201
MWF
Flare tip rocket + crystal (1)
Thayers with Aloe vera
Proraso ASB

Result: 3 passes, minor touch ups. Excellent :shave
 
Wednesday Morning

Merkur HD + Feather (3)
Newfy 2201
Palmolive stick
Proraso splash


Morning shave for a change. And very nice it was, too.

It's quite fresh out -- feels even fresher after a splash of the ol' Proraso.
 
I decided to use some samples today, so had a completely free shave!

AOS pre-shave oil (more of a gel, actually, and for something that's supposed to be fragrance free, there's an awful lot of clove going on).
Edwin Jagger Sea Buckthorn cream
Futur (not a sample, unfortunately)
Gillette 7 o'clock (part of a generous PIF from Matt)
New Forest 2201 (again, not a sample)
Edwin Jagger Sea Buckthorn after-shave lotion

The Futur/7 o"clock combination was my first DE shave, which seems an age ago now. I took my time (because I can!) and the result was a pleasant, close shave. I like the EJ cream, but can't justify buying any more at the moment - besides, I like Acca Kappa more!


Regards
Ian
 
Wednesday

Mühle R89
feather (5)
GFT Pure Badger Brush
Penaligon's Opus 1870
Coral skin food
Moisturiser

Great shave. My slant shaves were a bit hit and miss, so I decided to take the blade out and try in my trusty R89.
