Just back from my team's 0-0 draw in the FA cup against Holbeach Utd and a catch-up with some Blyth Spartans fans before their game against Eastwood Town.

Anyway, shave this morning;

WS Quattro Titanium
Semogue 830
Czech & Speake #88 Soap

Nice hot shower to begin followed by:

L'Oreal Hydra energetic cleaning gel
Sensor Excel
Ever Ready 150 with NF 2 band Knot
BS Macca Root Cream
E45 Cream

Left a bit blotchy, some thing I've not had for a few months of Mach3 and Foam can, I'm left wondering if there's such thing as brush burn when face lathering? bit of palm action tomorrow I think.

This morning:

Hot shower
La Toja stick, face lathered with
Vulfix 404 mix
Feather Portable, with
Gillette 7OC green (2)
Trumper's Coral skin food
Trumper's GFT cologne


Quite a few little blood spots this morning. Didn't actually soap my face in the shower, maybe that was the culprit? Hey ho.

Sunday

Schick Adjustable Injector
Schick Blade
New Forest 2201 Brush
D.R. Harris Lavender Soap
Bulldog asb

To answer Martin's (Dodgy) question, the Schick blades that I am using appear to be made in Sweden, and are performing well. I have also used the Personna type blades in this razor with similar results.

I keep eyeing 'NOS' blades, but am reluctant to take the plunge as I'll disappointed when I can't get any more!

Shave of the day, Saturday 03/09/2011

Sunday:

Razor: Ikon handle/EJ head
Blade: Lord something or the other.
Brush: Duke 3 Best
Soap: Palmolive stick
Post: Proraso Pre/post

Steamy mirror and a little lapse in concentration lead to a nick in my lip! I can't even remember the last time I did that.

Palmolive is such a great soap and this lord blade wasn't too bad either.
