Personna non grata blade
Scent from Heaven Aramis style moisturising balm
Med Prep works nicely in this razor. Better than DFS.

woke up thinking i'd have a nice relazed DE shave with lucky tiger, the wife ruined it by throwing up next to, morning sickness, selfish sod.
Any way quick change.

Hot shower
Proraso pre-shave menthol
TOBS Sandalwood cream
EJ BB medium brush
Weber Shiny (at last); Astra SP (1)
Cold splash & alum block
Clinique post-shave healer
Finally got to try out the Weber shiny. Are Webers as good as everyone says? Well... made sure I paid attention to careful prep and technique, but I can say it was the easiest, cleanest, most irritation-free shave I have ever had to date. YMMV

Pre Geo F. Trumper Skinfood Sandalwood + Crabtree&Evelynn Sienna shaving cream + Omega 81052/31052 + UFO U2 Long with Weber ARC and Astra blue + Provence Santé splash
I hadn't used this shaving cream for a looong time and I don't undertand why... it's simply terrific, I got a superb shave with it. And this splash is very good, specially when you want to rest from alcoholic ones!
Cheers!

I purposely chose not to shave this morning so as to give my Weber Polished a run-out this evening. I'll use the Astra SP that came with it - rather than go for a fifth shave with a Polsilver that's still going strong - but I'm dithering over the brush and soap. Very unlike me. I'm currently thinking La Toja stick and one of the silvertips... Looking forward to it either way and I'll also feed back some initial thoughts.
I finally opened my bottle of Diptyque Philosykos (eau de parfum) this morning, and I'm loving it. Much better longevity than the edt.

Saturday 1st December
Facial Scrub
Proraso Pre/Post Cream
Moershfelder 9/16 Razor
Frank Shaving 24 x 50 Silvertip
Erasmic Cream
Lilac Vegetal
Organic Shea Butter
The first time I have used this vintage razor. If anyone can shed any light on its origins....it would be much appreciated . The engraving says Moershfelder Buffalo. I have been unable to find anything online. The razor was supplied 'shave ready'.....and though I had a good shave.....I think it needs just a little more work. This may be the first non GD razor I take to the stone!
A good 3 pass shave
