This morning's shave

I woke up to a dodgy neck, and yesterday I damamaged my pinky finger playing my acoustic guitar ( hammer on's and pull off's ) and I do have to go out I will genurally not leve my house with out a shave so....

Dove/soap hot face cloth prep
50s Gillette Fat handle tech Gold plated
Feather blade
Taylor's sandlewood shaving cream
cold face cloth, Geo.F.Trumper Skin Food to Finish

the result.... A painfull BSS...:D but worth it
 
Aqueous cream
Supermax Ultimate 3 shave cream
Fatboy on 7, 5, 3 with Gillette Platinum Plus blade

Very nice, smooth shave.
 
Continuing the learning curve on the Slim Adjustable.

Lovely!
Apart from getting too giddy and doing an ATG pass on Monday with a first use of Ingram's Cream (indeed first use of any cream) OOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
the Slim has been a revelation. Closest and most comfortable shaves I've ever had as long as I stick to 2xWTG & XTG.

Still comparing LEA sticks:

34yent0.jpg


"Old" LEA stick + New Forest 2213 + UFO U2 "Long" with Muhle R41 2010 and Gillette Platinum #4 + LEA balm with Aqua Velva lotion

Many years have passed since I tried last time this stick. I haden't good memories about it, but today I was surprised: it is more "foamy" than modern lanolized stick and you can shave without much problem if you uses good razor and blades like today. It doesn't have remarkable propiertes anyway, but I must continue comparing both sticks to get strong conclusions.

Cheers!

I like the look of that brush/razor stand combo. Is it available to buy somewhere? I've been looking for something along those lines; it would be smarter looking than blue tacking my brush to the roof of my cabinet.

Hi, mate!

Yes, you can buy it easily because is a Semogue stand, so you can find in portuguese products webshops like ThePortugalOnlineShop or VintageScent

Cheers!
 
More LEA shaves:

2agrww2.jpg


LEA "lanolized" stick + New Forest 2213 + Merkur 37c Slant with Polsilver Super #1 + italian Floid Blue with Proraso balm

A superb shave! I spent a little more time getting foam from this stick and it worked even better than last day. Smoooth shave with little irritation!

By the way, this floid "atomizer" is a really good idea! it spreads the lotion much better and you get a more powerful scent and freshness, hehe

Cheers!
 
This morning:

Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap, cold
Razor: Feather Artist Club RG (wood), Pro blade (8)
Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 in best
Soap: Pre de Provence
Aftershave: Prof Blighty's Yellow Ginger
Scent: Trumper's GFT

Splendid.
 
It really doesn't get any better! Went and did it again ... Yes, another Gillette 1904 razor this time another 1918 E US Army. my favorite year and razor[attachment=5018]
Razor: Gillette '04 E
Blade: Polsilver. Great too
Brush: Badger
Preshave: Noxzema plus
Soap: Dittol Shave Cream. Nice too
Alum
AS: Dickinson's
Balm: Nivea
Coffee
If I had only one combo this would be it. 2 passes. 1x WTG ; 1x ATG and it's a real BBS . '04 you can't improve on perfection. Wow![attachment=5019]
