Near-BBS. This Schick has all chances for becoming my travel razor, though it does take some getting used to.

Vie Long 13061 horse
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Witch hazel
Lucky Tiger Face Tonic
Penhaligon's Castile

A very effective razor that's really polished up beautifully. There's a crack in the handle but, in a weird way, I quite like that.
 
Nice frosty misty muddy walk with the hound....bit of bacon and egg then

Nice and smooth shave. First use of the Lilac Vegetal, it's certainly an interesting scent. Not sure it's for me.

Saturday 24th November 2012
Prep: Shower
Razor: GEM Heavy Flat Top
Blade: GEM Stainless Coated
Brush: Turkish No. 6
Cream: Palmolive
Aftershave: Floid Balm

A super shave both in terms of closeness and comfort.

The Floid smells really nice, the label states it is a new fragrance, as I have never tried the 'old' (or any other Floid product) I am unable to comment regarding comparisons.

Regards
Dick.
 
Afternoon folks

Brush: EJ Badger brush
Razor:Unbranded, really cheap shavette
Blade: Seven o clock black super platinum
Aftershave: Alum block followed by M&S ' s aftershave balm


It#s my first experience with a shavette and it has been awful. Didn't have any cuts but a lot of razor burn and not a clean shave around the neck region :mad:
 
Prep: Hot Shower
Cream: Real Shaving Company
Brush: NFB Chubby
Razor: Merkur progrees Long handle, set on 3
Blade: Rapira SS
Balm: Vera Wang for Men

Wanted to try out this blade which I have never used before, and rather than risk using it in my R41 I went back to the Progress. What a shave!! This blade/razor combo was incredibly smooth, looking forward to a repeat performance. These blades are available for under £7 for 100 from Turkey on ebay, what a bargain!
