Shave of the Day Week Commencing 17/09/11
- Thread starter Jack Force
- Start Date
SUNDAY 'MEGA CLOSE AS IT HAS TO LAST A DAY AND A HALF' SHAVE
Joris OC
Gillette Super Thin (2)
BR Privateer
Dutch Moss cream
Woodhead scuttle
Alum
Witch hazel
Trumper lime skin food
Another BBS at the cost of some irritation and couple of leaking cuts.
The good thing I've found about very aggressive razors is two WTG passes deliver what would normally be a good 'daily' shave.
Tonight I finished with an ATG pass and I've paid for it a bit.

Monday
EJ DE87
Astra SP (1)
Wilky Boar
C&E Sandalwood Soap
EJ Sandalwood ASM (...probably only one day left in the bottle!)
C&E Sienna EdT
Three pass, bowl lather.
Exceptional lather from the team. However a touch of the old Merlot from just below the right jawbone. Pressure, dear boy, too much pressure. Hmph!!
The scrape apart, a very decent shave. I was particularly impressed that the DE87 (on its debut) has a geat grip, even when soaped.

Muhle R101
Treet Durasharp Carbon [3]
Vie Long Boar
Culmak Soap
Face Freezer Witch Hazel [added menthol]
Gillette A/B
Superdrug Forest Fresh A/S
Decided to try and get one more shave out of the Treet before trying my 1912. An effort less shave and I think the blade is spent as it was a little bit rough at the end. Still the R101 is a great machine, and can have a rest while I try a bit of SE shaving for the next couple of days.

No shave sunday and so had a bit of growth to deal with this morning, which is always quite satisfying, especially as had loaded a brand new feather blade in the Edwin Jagger. Taylor of old bond street - sandal wood cream and a quick flick with the alum block to finish!
