Thursday morning
Pre: Hot Shower
Brush: New Forest silvertip
Razor: Roberts
Soap: Henks Scheerzeep Bay Rum
AS: Ogallala Lime and Peppercorns
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very clean :D
Yesterday I got my oldie back from Neil and he had done a great job on the edge (and everything else too, look at those ember like scales :shock: :D). I loved how this one shaved, I was afraid it "only" was going to be a cool looking razor. Lots of WOW in todays shave. Ohh, and it was real treat/easy to shave the neck XTG :D

Bluebeard's Revenge
aftershave by Aldi

A close shave but not a comfortable one. If the Bluebeard cream gets another outing it'll be with a DE razor because it seems to provide scant protection from a straight. Also, I wound up with a tight face :evil: , something that hasn't happened in a long time.

Andy,

I how does BlueBeards compare to other soaps/cream in your rotation? Have you seen that promo with Mike Cook ( shaved with obsidian stone awhile back ) and Bluebeards'?

The Pashana flash smells like Floid Genuine and hangs around all day.

Thanks for the tip Blyth Spirit will give it a go Friday.

This Diamondine was honed by my own incompetent and inexperienced self, but it delivered a great shave anyway!! Proof once again that even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while! :eek:

About the photo...

I asked my good wife to pick me up a new coffee cup. She returned with a matching pair of these "his and hers" monsters... I just hate matching stuff!! But, I do appreciate her efforts... ;)

I don't know that it does compare closely with anything else Ivan. The first shave (with the Fermarud) was a bit unfair because that's a rather twitchy razor for me at the best of times which I haven't really got used to, but the Lindsay is a dependable plodder which never throws any surprises, but last night's shave was far from relaxing. I didn't feel that I was getting any protection from the lather worth speaking of, and truth to tell, not a great deal of glide either. My usual favourites are Wool Fat, Cella, Nanny's of course, sometimes Tabac and Creightons creams: all of them work far better for me. I haven't seen the promo: surely you don't mean to say that he used the obsidian with Bluebeards? If so, hats off - his technique must be phenomenal.
 
Thursday evening

Hot shower
S.O.C
Ingrams cream
Straight razor
Schrick Krona with Feather (1)
Osma alum
Proraso AS
Maca root razor relief

I used plenty of Ingram's to make sure the SOC didn't let me down, two complete passes with the straight and I achieved an acceptable shave. Not close. but I'd have been able to leave the house! The sharp Feather seemed to suit the lightweight Krona very well. Satisfying shave.
