Sunday
Allen & Son 5/8
Ever ready 1912 + Gem.
Boots soap
Home made boar
Alum
Givenchy Gentleman AS

2 straight passes then a SE clean up, that is the formula which gives me the closest longest lasting shave. Better than SE alone and much better than straight alone.

Monday
DE 89 + Superthin
Blighty B&W Cream
Omega 81052 boar
Tabac ASL

Very little stubble following yesterdays great shave. I forgot the alum today and am missing it. This superthin blade isn't as good as they generally are, its had its 3rd use but it wasn't "right" on the 1st one.

Monday

Well since my last post Have been using the following
Proffessor Blighty Grapewood Soap, Balm and Cologne
1955 Superspeed
Gillette 7o'clock Yellow blade until today when I stuck a feather in it

The 7o'clock was nice 3 passes and a touch up and I was nice and smooth except on the chin, just cant suss that bit out
stuck the feather in today 2 passes and a touch up and great, even closer on the chin but not baby bum yet

I'm getting the hang of this - should really have stuck with the gold ball end but I just loved the look of the superspeed
