    Gillette SuperThin blade (1) (generously PIFed to me)

Wednesday afternoon.

Nearly the same old, same old.
Hot shower
Merkur 41 open comb (1904)
Treet Platinum blade
mama bears brute soap
Omega 10005 brush
Proraso pre shave
Proraso A/S
Body Shop macca root moituriser :)

All was OK, tried a Treet blade I got with a Razor purchase, seemed good but not as good as a Personna red.
A couple of nicks on the neck but not sure if that was down to the blade or the razor, only the second shave with this razor.
 
Wednesday evening

Shower & ESPA Mud as pre
Black-handled SS & Gillette Platinum (#3)
Traditional Latvian pottery bowl
NF 2201 & D.R. Harris Marlborough
Alum & D.R. Harris Marlborough after shave
Svoboda Vitamin F after shave cream

- I love the Marlborough scent, this and the La Toja have made it to the list of items I intend to stick to.
- The New Forest continues to impress, but I guess this is not a surprise to those of you who have tried it.

Pt 2

Hot shower and hot towel
Sensor Excel
Vulfix 404 bodger
La Toja stick
TOBS eton college AS

Had to try the new razor, tried face lathering for the first time and it wasn't too bad, enjoyed shaving and strangely a lot of the irritation that was nothing me seems to of cleared up and with a smoother face than the fusion.
 
Wednesday,


Hot shower, Trumpers skin food, Hot towel
Nanny's Citrus Zinger NF 2201
Super speed, 7 o' clock Yellow (1)
Alum, Proraso pre/post.


Gave the super speed it's second run out today and tried a 7 o' clock yellow, and also the first try with Nanny's. Need to work on the lather a touch, a little wet today need to refine it. Definitely a different feel and tried to take it nice and slow. Had a couple of small nicks and a little razor burn on my neck. BBS in most places a few small rough areas still to work on. Will stay with this combo for a while and see how things pan out.
 
Tuesday morning

Hot Shower
Proraso pre shave cream
NF 2201
MB Lime Ice
Gillette SS
Red Persona (3)
Proraso AS .... with a little extra.....

Fancied a menthol kick today, so put a small amount (5ml?) of Proraso AS into a little sample bottle and added 3 menthol crystals. WOW :shock: Ice cold, and for the first five minutes my eyes actually watered :lol: And then when I went outside it happened all over again! I wouldn't want it everyday, but once in a while it's a lovely feeling!
 
Wednesday Night:

    • - Laurel Open Comb 3-Piece (all metal)
      - Bic Chrome platinum blade
      - Yardley Gold Original shave cream (via Maharaja Shave)
      - New Forest Fido 2201 Urban Ninja
      - Thayers' Lavender witch hazel
      - Kartopu Kolonya Gül Suyu rose water[/list:u][/list:u]

      A decidedly close smooth shave for something with so many of those weird, jutty-outie metal teef - all over the fricking razor-head! Though I don't think it'd be good to use this every day, as I am a sensitive wee flower.
      • I've noticed that someone else now has one of these.
          • ... and yet, I still get that warm fuzzy feeling from this razor.
              • Maybe it's due to having transplanted myself to Sheffield.[/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
 
Wednesday

Gillette Fatboy
Feather
Ingram cream
Simpsons Commodore X1
Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera

Wednesday

1921 Gillette New
Gillette Super Thin (Thai) (3)
Fido 2201
Godrej Shaving Round
Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel

The decadence of the silver plated razor & the Fido offset by the 16 Rupee wonder of Godrej and a Fozz-sourced Super Thin (Sing$ 5 for 100 I think it was) and a splash of the Boots Teatree & Witch Hazel that I got when it was on BOGOF.
 
Wednesday Nite

Merkur 1904 loaded with a 7 oclock Sharpedge.
Simpson B6
Valobra Almond Soap
T&H Aftershave Balm

Wring knot. 1 min. 6 pass. Rework 1st & 2nd pass.
The Wee works better when knot is wrung instead of being shaken 3x before dollop is applied. While I do have to rework the first two passes it's ok. At least this way the lather is moist thicker paste.
