Glad the brush is improving with age Mikael, :)
I couldn't help notice your razor a couple of days ago, and today's, are they fitted with horn scales?
They're quite beautiful so much so that regrettably I'm now thinking about dipping a toe into the mystical pool of Straights :shock:
Great photography as always!

Martin de Candre Savon à Raser - Semogue 2010 Custom Boar - Gillette NEW #88 - Gillette Bleue (1) - Speick AS


For some reason my hand deemed it fit to bounce the razor of my chin so I ended up with a weeper there, but apart from that all good.
 
Tuesday:

EJ de87
Treet Platinum
Palmolive cream
Simpson Case pure
Bulldog asb

Cranked up Funkadelic's 'Standing On The Verge of Getting It On' to funkify this morning's ritual. The EJ + Treet is a mighty smooth combo. An outstanding shave :D

Gillette Sharp Edge Yellow (2)
Semogue 1305
Musgo Real
WTG - XTG - XTG + touch ups
Superdrug WH
Trumper Spanish Leather AS

Not a nice shave :cry: Plenty of irritation around the sides of my chin. Still feeling it now a good half hour later. I know I've changed quite a few ingredients in today's shave but can only really blame myself as I rushed the shave for no particular reason.

'40s Superspeed & Super-Max : Tabac shaving cream and Edwin Jagger Sandalwood shaving cream w/ Omega 31064 : Eveline Musk after shave : L'Oreal MenExpert balm : YSL Kouros (old formulation)

First pass was with the Tabac, second with the EJ cream, and what a difference... The EJ performed much better. A very nice shave indeed.
