C&E WIL cream
EJ pure badger
L1 Schick Injector, Schick Platinum (NOS)
Steve's Barbershop Bayrum

Fair to middling shave was perked up by my 1st splash of Steve's excellent AS. Think I may move this Injector on, I just find it overly mild.

Greetings

Thursday 27th September 2012
Prep: Shower
Razor: GEM Micromatic OC
Blade: GEM Stainless Coated
Brush: Turkish No.6 Horse?
Soap: Cella
Aftershave: Adidas Balm

Wonderful shave, I always carry out a three pass shave, but out of all my razors, if I was obliged to do a single pass shave with no touching up I do believe this razor (in my opinion) would give the closest/smoothest result.

Regards
Dick.

Shave just now.

RE: SOTD Sat 22th Sept to Frid 28st Sept 2012 ...

Tabac shave stick
Rocket HD with Gillette Platinum (early seventies) - I think 4th use. Then Polsilver (yellow pack, vintage)
Arko Cool a/s balm

Forgot how muc I liked this cheap and cheerful balm. Had the tube unopened for about three years now.
 
RE: SOTD Sat 22th Sept to Frid 28st Sept 2012 ...

THURSDAY EVENING

Gillette HD Rocket - aluminium handle
Tiger blade (3)
Beejay amber acrylic brush with TGN knot
Tabac stick
Witch hazel
Institut Karite balm

Cracking lather tonight from the Tabac or, as I snappily call it, 'Dodgy's perennial favourite'.

Good shave from Tigger again, albeit with another small weeper. Probably the most aggressive blade I've tried yet, and they don't make them any more. Perversely I might have bought some too.
 
Brush: NF Tubby 2
Cream: TOBS jermyn st & MWF
Razor: Weber DLC
Blade: 7 o'clock green (2)
Post: Arran Aromatics Citrus Balm & Paul Smith AS

Nice shave again with the Weber. Really loving it. I'll try it with a different blade on Sunday and see how it performs.
Still not convinced with using creams over soaps though. I love the smell of this TOBS cream but prefer using soaps. I'll wait till I finish the cream and buy the soap next time (I know, should've done that the first time).
 
same st up as yesterday and although a comfortable shave its quite patchy on the neck with a few blood spots.

Muhle R89
Semogue OC Boar
Red Personna (2)
Scent from heaven strawberry
Dermol

Thinking about breaking out the R41 next week.
 
Friday:

LEA Menthol cream
Omega Silvertip
Aristocrat Jr.
Feather (2)
Professor Blighty's Harlequin AS
Nivea Balm

Very nice, BBS shave. No weepers unlike yesterday.
