Cold shower
Proraso pre/post
Vitos Coconut shaving soap
M&F blonde badger
GEM OCMM
Alum stick
Antonio Puig Quorum AS
Institut Karite ASB

Top gear everything. Liking this Quorum AS (got from Amazon allegedly on discount), pretty decent on skin and smells of cigars, old leather and dark rum.

Tuesday:

Cella
Semogue OC Boar
Feather Artist Club SS
Pro Guard Blade
Proraso AS
DR Harris Marlborough EdT

Hadn't shaved for a couple of days the Feather AC just demolished the stubble. One pass would have been enough, two passes (WTG,ATG) left me super smooth.

First use of the Proraso AS sample from ManMachine, I'm sold, I'll be ordering a bottle soon.

Tuesday

Feather AC SS with Pro Blade
Edwin Jagger Silvertip Brush
Palmolive Shave Stick
Clinique Post Shave Soother

Whilst rooting around in my soap drawer last night, I spotted a Palmolive stick, and as I've not used one for a good while, I thought I'd use it this morning.

They really are a bargain, and the scent actually seems better than I remembered.

Greetings

Tuesday 27th November 2012
Prep: Shower
Razor: GEM Contour
Blade: GEM Stainless Coated
Brush: Omega 10810 Boar
Soap: Kent Luxury
Aftershave: Floid Balm

A nice gentle but close shave. Although a mild razor, the Contour will produce a great shave for me with a bit of touching up.

Regards
Dick.

Morning, gents.

Tuesday:

Cardi shave Day 11

Prep: Gillette facewash
Razor: Yuma
Blade: Super Max Blue Diamond
Brush: Wilko cheapie
Shave soap: La Toja stick
A/S: none
Cologne: Kiss Him

I bought the cologne from Amazon a while back for silly money. The price has gone up a bit, but it's still worth it for a pretty decent oriental. The hostile reviews on Basenotes I find odd: I doubt very much that it smells of Gene Simmon armpits, and if it does then he's a lucky man.

A very smooth two pass shave from the old timer.

Gillette original shaving cream
EJ boar
Red Tip with Polsilver stainless
Progress with vintage Supermax
Scent from Heaven Escape moisturising cream

With the Polsilver reaching end of life and the Red Tip still not great at getting super-close (fine for DFS though) I finished myself off ( ) with a safer bet.
Partial BBS and not sore

 

[Sir_eider]

Geo F. Trumper Skinfood Sandalwood + Mike's EL 2012 AC shaving soap + Omega 31052/81052 + UFO U2 Long with Merkur head and Schick blade + Blue Stratos splash

A superb shave with this high quality soap, although it wasn't a good idea to use this Skinfood before it, as it killed the soap scent...

Cheers!

Result: Uberclean
I think someone in Sweden re grinded a lot of these razors back in the days, for some reason I've found rather many here over the years and I think it's a to early razor for a full hollow ground... Very nice shaver, either way
