Travel gear out today as I'm at the mrs parents.
Razor: OSS
Blade: Lord Super
Brush: Muhle Silvertip synthetic 21mm horn
Soap: La Toja
Post: Nivea
Nice shave, it's a bit weird being out of your comfort zone of your own bathroom.
This brush is also excellent. A lather machine for sure.

Greetings
Sunday 15th July 2012
Prep: Shower
Razor: 7 o'clock 'New'
Blade: Rapira (Pale blue & pink packet)
Brush: Turkish No. 6 Horse
Soap: Erasmic tallow stick milled into a container.
My first shave with a new and I am very impressed, I bought this razor from AJC347 but this has been my first chance to try it as Andrew loaned me four SE's which I have been trying.
I like the 'new' style head I do not find it particularly aggressive and loaded with a Russian Rapira it gave me a BBS with no tenderness.
It seems the Muhle R41 mentally, if not physically, scarred me, when I hear the word aggressive it makes me think of that razor and nothing else I have tried to date has been anything at all like it; thankfully! I would say though that I have no intention of trying a Cobra!
Regards
Dick.

Yeap, a good fraganced smooth shave, although this horse hair brush definitely is a bit too floppy for my taste, hehe
Cheers!

After a lie-in to read a couple of chapters of The White Lioness (one of the Wallander novels by Henning Mankell), some cleaning and tidying, a brunch of Seahouses kippers and scrambled egg on toasted sourdough washed down with tea, coffee & OJ -
Hot shower
Palmolive stick
Vulfix 404 bristle & badger
EJDE89L, Gillette 7 O'C Super Platinum
RSC balm
Straightforward shave, 1st class result. Cats to clean-up after now, car to wash, then some paperwork to catch-up on, and a fish curry to cook. Oh the glamour!

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage butterscotch Ever Ready badger
'Webly'/Schick Plus Platinum (NOS)
Czech and Speake #88 SS
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Penhaligons 'BB' cologne
Last couple shaves have been with this new to me soap. Very nice product performance wise....plenty of slip and just the right amount of cushion. Post shave skin care is very pleasant.
Heh, scentwise, I just do not know. Never sniffed anything quite like it before, and it's taking some getting used to. I'm cautiously optimistic, but we'll see how that ends up.
BBS results,
Martin

Very nice shave this morning, smooth and close. Picked up a bottle of Stephan Lilac from my barber yesterday. What a nostalgic scent from my boyhood barbershop days.
