Wednesday​


A new blade today for me. The Personna Blue Medical Prep.

Prep: Hot Shower
Cream: TOBS Eton College
Brush: Neep Aztec 29mm Extra Silvertip
Razor: Feather AS-D1
Blade: Personna Blue Med Prep
A/S: TOBS Eton College

A lovely smooth shave with this blade, I can see whyt people rate it so highly. I wonder how long it will last me, I've read that this blade outlasts any others.​
 
Wednesday:

Morning all,

Hot shower prep
Proraso Pre/Post White
TOBS Jermyn Street cream
DE89 with 7 O'Clock Yellow/ Astra SP

First Pass felt really draggy, I think i've pushed the Yellow a bit too far. Changed for an Astra SP for second pass and touch up's..much better!
Thank god for Steve's Bay Rum !!!!

vintage butterscotch Ever Ready badger

Is it Wednesday already..?

Truefitt & Hill Ultimate Comfort Shaving Cream
MÜHLE Silvertip Fibre 21mm
MÜHLE R89
Polsilver Super Iridium (thanks flip-68)
Nancy Boy Replenishing Shave Gel

Tried a 3 pass WTG shave today to see if it made a difference to skin irritation. Socially acceptable shave but I messed up the 'trouble spot' on the side of my neck. First time with the T&H cream (apart from a sample I tried years ago) and I'm reasonably satisfied with it. My skin didn't react to it, it lathers easily, very subtle scent that I can barely smell. In performance I'd rank it with Taylor's Jermyn St cream but as the Taylor's is cheaper I doubt I'll buy T&H again when this pot's used up. The Polsilver blade was sharp enough and smooth but I had over a weeks worth of stubble so I'll reserve judgement for now.

Very nice shave. Went back to cold water shaving this morning after a couple of weeks of using warm water. I found it easier to get a BBS shave this morning. I think I prefer the cold water, may revise that come December mind!
 
Prep - Hot Towel, Palmolive S/S
Razor - Muhle '11 R41
Blade - Astra S/P
Brush - Duke 3
Soap - Monsavon
Cold Rinse/ Witch Hazel/ RazoRock Aftershave Wax

my Monsavon just arrived, so I used it with the 'Duke'.... bloody fantastic... this stuff was literally flying off my brush as I applied it to my face.... IMHO Monsavon is up there with 'The Fat'..... fantastic cushion, glide and protection... my face feels great. In fact I really enjoyed that shave!! Happy bunny. ;)

Tonight

Cream: Real Shaving Co
Brush: Turkish No6 Horse
Razor: Gillette Super Adjustable (set at 7 WTG 5 XTG and 4 ATG)
Blade: Derby(1)
Post: Alum & Prof Blightys Punchinello

Result: Nice, clean, mild shave. Just what I needed now that my chin has recovered. Not used this razor since I started DE shaving and it's a good razor, especially if you want something a little milder. Not as good as a slim though.

Toggle on 1 with Ri Mei Chinese PIF blade

This Rim Me blade is pretty good. Previous experience with similar blades tells me to bin it after this one great shave.
