Monday 14 January 2013

Prep: Hot shower, with Musgo Real Oak Moss Glycerin Soap
Soap: Dr Dittmar, applied directly to face, as per a shave stick
Brush Semogue 1305
Razor pass #1: Fatip Open Comb with Rapira Swedish Supersteel
Razor passes # 2 & 3: Feather All Stainless with Feather Hi-Stainless
Post: Alum, Rituals Samurai Secret AS Cream

Result: First shave since Friday so went with the open comb for first pass and then Feather for finesse. Dr Dittmar is a fine soap, now I've changed to using it as one would use a shave stick I'm getting an excellent, creamy, unctuous lather, that leaves my face feeling very soft. Shave was excellent, lovely and smooth. I love the Rituals cream for after shave usage.

Have a good y'awl....​

Monday:

Merkur 37C slant
Gillette 7 o'clock yellow (1)
TOBS lavender cream
Rooney style 2 brush
Penhaligons English Fern EdT

Little nick on the top lip, sorted out with alum. Smooth shave.
As usual the Rooney shed like a bastard. It's such a shame, it lathers well... I'd want to get rid of it, only I wouldn't actually wish it on anyone.

The best shave I have EVER had to date.

Which ingredient made it so special, Steve?

 

[Burgundy]

Gillette Slim Adjustable
Personna Lab Blue (2)
Semogue SOC 2-band
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Lucky Tiger Face Tonic
L'Occitane Eau captivante

As a face latherer, this 2-band is a revelation. In terms of my two badgers, while my Kent BLK8 is a pillowy luxury with creams, this Semogue has soap completely under the thumb. Currently feeling very happy with my brush lineup!
