SOTD: Sat 10/11/12 to Fri 16/11/11



Pre Veleiro soap + Cyril R. Salter soap + Omega 31052/81052 boar + Weber Bulldog with Merkur head and Iridium Super #1 + TOBS Mr Taylor splash with Proraso balm

A superb and smooth shave gentlemen! This soap is really easy to lather even with this soft boar brush, and Weber handle does a perfect couple with bot Merkur head and Iridium blade.

And to finish, the elegant scent of Mr Taylor moisturized with Proraso balm.

Cheers!

This razor's a brutal shaver, very good, but if you use the slightest pressure you'll come to close ... This Shavemac was perfect for the Castle F cream and face lathering, very nice shave! :D

First go with the 7 O'Clock Greens... always try out new blades in the De89 head. It was a mighty shave... only slightly spoiled because I got a bit cocky and ended up with a tiny nick on my neck... must try harder next time.
 
Thursday Morning

No work for a few days so a nice relaxed shave this morning before starting on the jobs SWMBO has lined up for me.

Trying out the TOBS Jermyn Street Pre Shave Oil for the first time, which worked well I think, this razor slices through anything with ease, but I do think there was a little more slip than usual.

Prep: Hot Shower then TOBS Jermyn Street Pre Shave Oil
Cream: TOBS Jermyn Street
Brush: Simpson Chubby 2
Razor: Muhle R41
Blade: Personna Red
A/S: TOBS Jermyn Street.
