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
D R Harris Pink Aftershave
Czech & Speake #88 Cologne
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.
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.
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!
Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Shavemac 30 mm
Razor: Klas Törnblom, w custom scales by Neil Miller (MOP inlays ) + Gillette, Popular
Soap/AS: Prof Blighty's Grapewood
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very close
It's one of those blades you silently chuckle with when shaving and the brush is my face, head and "what ever you want to shave" brush (no, I didn't).
