Hoping the good doctor has a less traumatic shave today. Take it steady with that blade squire.

Tuesday:

Jagger de87
UK Wilkinson Sword
Neep cigar band silvertip
Martin de Candre

2 passes. Splendid.
 
Feather AS D1 Razor
Feather Blade
New Forest Tubby 2
Al's Shave cream Palermo
Alum
Al's AS balm

Lovely shave, really enjoyed using the cream and balm.
 
Thanks for all the concern and sympathy, and for not calling me the dick I undoubtedly am. I'm perfectly fine, thanks, apart from the sore knee from falling over after catching both feet in a bag strap on Saturday and toppling like a hairy tree.

I am not normally clumsy or accident-prone. Need more sleep!

This morning:

Bulldog face wash
Feather Artist Club RG, ProGuard blade (2)
Taylor's Lavender cream
Neep custom yew badger
Trumper's Coral skin food
Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet cologne


A gorgeous, three-pass, very close comfortable shave with no blood spotting at all and no ocular imperilment. Thank christ.

I do love this :).
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage Marshall Fields badger
FH Tech-Stahly frankenrazor/Gillette Spoiler (1981)
Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation)
Barbershop Bay Rum AS
Givenchy 'Xeryus' EdT (1990s version)

Very nice shave using this 30 year old blade. Almost as sharp as the Iridium.......smooth and comfortable.

BBS results,

Martin
 
Gillette Old with Wilkinson Sword Classic
Vitos almond soap
TOBS Shaving Shop gel

Nice shave today. Also picked up another of these aftershave gels as TK Maxx have recently got a few more TOBS products in in my local branch.

[*Long-shot, but if anyone has any (old) Old Spice shaving soap they don't want I'll take it of your hands.

What's up Vinny,

Over the years, I've run into all sorts of Old Spice items. Mainly AS and cologne bottle and decanters, but not limited to that. Heh, I've even found some canned shaving cream from the early 1960s that's still very good and is used as a special treat.

I have never seen a puck of Old Spice soap anywhere in the wild. Seen Yardly twice, plenty of vintage Williams. Burma Shave pucks, and sometimes vintage Surrey soap. Not one puck of Old Spice after five years of poking around. Pretty crazy.
