Tuesday

Kent T4
Martin de Candre
Puma 6/8 No. 1 FF
L'Oreal Men Expert 24hr Balm
Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza

This combination worked a treat today! The MdC is without a question my favourite soap all-round. The Colonia Essenza worked wonders in this freezing weather we're having. Not that cold for some parts of the world, but in Southern England temperature of -8C are just unheard of!!! Brrrrrrrrr!!!

Soap from Aleppo - Simpson Chubby 1 best badger - Merkur 37C Slant - Derby Extra #2 - Pre JASÖN - Shaving soap Mitchell's Wool Fat - Alum block - Thayers Original - ASB Truefitt & Hill - ASL Honeybee Gardens Bay Rum.
 
Tuesday:

Merkur 37C slant
Gillette 7 o'clock yellow
Penhaligons nickel brush
TOBS lavender cream
Penhaligons English Fern EdT

Usually just use the slant to clear the long stubble on a Monday but I waste a lot of blades that way, so it got a second bite at the cherry today. Not bad on short stubble either.
 
I woke up this morning, looked myself in the mirror and realised that my 13/16" Bengall did an excelent job yesterday!
So I desided to have an one pass shave with a DE.

-ToOBS Sandalwood soap
-EJ 89 & ASP (#2)
-Simpson The Commodore X3
-ToOBS Sandalwood ASL

Afternoon, gents.

Tuesday:

Prep: Claus Porto Lime-oil face soap
Razor: EJ DE89 head with an iKon Bulldog handle
Blade: Astra Blue (3)
Brush: Vulfix Grosvenor
Shave cream: Erasmic
A/S: Denim
 
Today's raspings were a 'FACE OFF' experience involving the following:

Jagger 89L
7 o'clock yellow (2)
Vulfix 'Bodger'
Old Spice Indian-made SC/Ingram SC
Taylor's Mr Sidney's AS
Astral cream
Witch Doctor gel
More Astral cream
2 Ibuprofen

A long lie down in a darkened room

If anyone is a trifle cold this fine Winter's day, they would find warm respite beside the blazing glow of my ruinously red visage.
 
Prep: Nivea Sensitive Face Wash, Hot Flannel
Soap: Cade
Brush: Simpson Duke 3 Best
Razor: Weber POL/Bulldog
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Black/Indian (2)
A/S: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel, Weleda After Shave Balm
EDT: L'Occitane Eau du Badian

Not as smooth as I would have liked... two days in a row with the Indian Gillette Blacks. Perhaps these blades aren't working out for me, at least not in the Weber.
 
Today's shave

Feather blade
