Soap: Proraso white
Brush: Turkish No6 Horse
Razor: Weber DLC Bulldog

Smooth results. Horsey is starting to break in now and is producing lots of nice lather but sheds quite a lot.
 
Friday:
Gillette Blue II Disposable *
Edwin Jagger BBB
Palmolive Shaving Soap
Boots Freshwood Aftershave

* Nice. Very nice actually. Just a lightweight, disposable GII. Will keep some of these around. I own every currently available Gillette disposable and cartridge system. Handy when the wife goes shopping and she says 'what razors?' and I can reply 'anything by Gillette'.

Friday 2nd November 2012
Prep: Shower
Razor: Valet Autostop (Canadian early Model)
Blade: GEM Stainless Coated (modified)
Brush: Semogue 830 Boar
Soap: Tweex
Aftershave: Dove Sensitive Balm

A double first this morning my first use of any Semogue Boar brush (thanks Vinny) and it is so very different from my Omega's and other boars; much softer thinner tips and more tightly packed giving it a much softer face feel, really nice.

The Valet razor is one of the early models that can take standard SE blades with the top corners snipped off a recent e-bay purchase, it gave a really nice shave.

Regards
Dick.
 
nice shave today but still a bit of a spotty neck, had to do 3 passes with this blade where 2 is acceptable with the gillette yellow.

Gillette 58 (brass handle)
Gillette Silver Blue (1)
Semogue OC Boar
Lucky Tiger Shaving Cream
Sudocrem
Nivea Cream

The heavy handled 58 is a winner and I think this one will be off for a replate soon, just deciding between Dave at restored razors or Matt at razor emporium.
