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:

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.

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?
 
Friday

AoS travel badger
R89 / Gillette Platinum
Gillette Sensitive sc tube
Osma Alum
TWH
Christian Dior Intense Eau de Parfum

- 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.
