Prep: Shower, Arran Aromatics Lavender & Tea Tree Facial Wash
Pre: Proraso White
Brush: 404 Grosvenor "Bodger"
Cream: Miller Harris Feuille de Tabac
Razor: Merkur 46C Travel
Blade: Polsilver Super Stainless
Astringent: Thayers Medicated Super WH
Post: Zirh Post Shave Lotion
Fragrance: Acqua di Parma Collezione Barbiere
Results: Superb shave, really managed to whip up the Feuille de Tabac into thick, unctuous, rich cushioning lather. The excellence of the shaving experience was though more than counterbalanced by my sadness and anger of the news from Boston, a city I have a great affection for. Awful scenes, with, seemingly, a significant number of horrific injuries alongside some deaths too. How can people hate so much to inflict atrocities like this?
Good shave, sad, sad day.

Prep: Shower & RSC Scrub
Pre-shave: Somerset's Extra Sensitive Shave Oil
Razor: Gold US Old Type (2-piece(ish))
Blade: SuperMax Blue Diamond (1st)
Brush: No Name Chinese Pure Black Badger
Soap: Tabac Tub
Finish: Alum & Nivea Q10
AS: Old Spice (P&G)
First go with an Old Type - Bit fiddly aligning the blade and I'm not sure if I wasn't trying to correct a trick of the light....
Got the angle from a test on my forearm and had a very nice shave close and comfortable.

Hot face splash then,

Vulfix Pure Badger

2 days' growth eradicated in a fairly comfortable shave. Didn't find the blade over-sharp or over-smooth but someway betwixt; BBS all the same. Will see how this blade fares over next couple of shaves and compare with some other blades I have yet to form opinion of in this razor.
