I had to rush 1 ½ passes and I got a little raw, but clean enough and prob cleaner than every Fusion owner out there (well, maybe except for Vinnie, my favorite Brit Fusion shaver).

Scent from Heaven Orange shaving soap
Progress on 2, 1 with Super Iridium
No a/s balm. Yet.

Really enjoying the orange scent of this soap. Was the only one I considered for tonight's shave.

Been a while since I used a Super Iridium. Very nice indeed. I wanted a shave I knew would be effortless and as close and smooth as possible. Not disappointed.
 
Gillette Tech
Shark (1)
New Forest 2213
RazoRock XXX
Witch hazel
Proraso white balm

Good soap and frag match. My first go at the RazoRock XXX; the initial lather was a touch dry but the two subsequent passes were spot on. It's shaping up as another very good Italian soap.

Thursday

EJ DE89L
Derby SS (2)
Wilkinson Sword Bristle
T&H Soap

Harvard ASB
Forest Fresh AS

Three pass, face lather.

Scarily the Derby is proving to be very good indeed. The T&H soap is another one of my favourite hard soaps, it's scent is how shaving soap should smell and with this brush it lathers up a storm. Delighted.

Autumn is well and truly here, I actually saw a bloke wearing gloves, when driving out of my street this morning - it's fresh at the coast.
 
Thursday:

La Toja cream
Semogue SOC Boar
Slim Adjustable
Gillette 7 o'clock SharpEdge (2)
Barbershop Bay Rum AS
TOBS St James EdC

Another great shave from the slim, I really like this razor. I might treat it to a replate soon.
 
Hi

#16
Wilkinson sword vintage blade
NF two band
The much debated tabac stick. Powerful aroma. In the past I have had a little issue with this soap.
I make it up too dry and get a draggy shave. It seems to come up asa really thick mix.
Wet the soap first. Had shower. Used a slighty wetter brush.
Came out as a very dense cushioning soap but gave me a really close two pass shave.
Loving this razor combo. I seem to have hit a good set up here.
The Prince cream really gave a BBS finish.
Cheers
Timothy
