Re: Shave of the Day. W/C Sat 5 June 2010

Pre: wash and hot towel and Proraso
Brush: Semouge 200
Razor: James Bingham
Cream: Vulfix English Rose
Astringent: India alum
Post: Proraso
AS: Tabac
Result: Very nice shave - with some bumps!
This is a nice little wedgy, that holds an edge real good (thank you Neil!). However, the mosquitos love the back of my head :evil: and of course I nicked three of them . Well nothing that Proraso gel and wife can´t fix. Other than that, very nice and smooth piece of head now :shave! Snooker anyone? :lol:

nice shave in the bath. took a second go at lathering as the first was too 'wet' and i couldn't be bothered to recover with more cream, so started again with a virtually dry brush and just dripping in till perfecto

Thursday night:

- A slight chill in the air and a more pronounced chill in the rinse & dunk water.

- Sample No 3 of Canadialand's J M Fraser shave creams: Original

, & Omega Pro 49
- bakelite Minora 3-Piece with a Rainbow Super Stainless from Lord Industries/Group
- Lemon Thayer's Witch Hazel
- Old Spice Fresh Lime AS

Not too troublesome getting a SSS* tonight.My first blade from Lord group. Very good. might be the first blade where I think I might get the use of the adjective 'smooth' re: shaving blades. If only they were easier to to source in Europe/UK, especially if they are consistent.

* Silky Smooth Shave! I just made it up.

Hi joe !

You did say this was gonna be your new routine for busy mornings - didn't you? Have you tried an SE yet, they are pretty safe for a quicker shave a.m? You can achieve a SAS or even CCS, nice and even too - and surprisingly comfortable!

spandex..

I toyed with the idea of getting a Schick Injector a while ago but just never got round to it. Aren't the blades harder to get hold of than DE blades?

- The water here is Shanghai is much less hard than in Riga, this makes shaving a real pleasure, can't wait to get back to Athens for even better shaves (the water there is even better);
- Next shave: at the Shangri-La Singapore.

Have a great weekend, folks.

The only places in the UK that I have seen injector blades are at Connaught and safetyrazors.co.uk. The blades from Connaught do the job.
