Hot shower
Hot flannel
Trumpers coconut hard soap scuttle lathered
Simpsons 59 brush
Weber POL stainless razor
Gillette 7 oclock yellow (1)
Cold rinse
Close to BBS today very nice shave :icon_biggrin:
The Trumpers soap lathered up a treat loads of lather for 3 passes and touch ups.
The 7 oclock yellow performs lovely in the Weber a good combination for me.

2 pass cold water face lather as normal, a nice shave shave.
The first time i'd used my Birth Year & Quarter Razor, a nice mild shave.
The First time i'd used a Rapira Stainless, not a bad blade, will see what it's like for shave 2.
The First time i've used Valobra, nice lather, non offensive smell, i still prefer Lea i think.

Real Shaving Co. face scrub
Edwin Jagger Chatsworth Ebony synthetic bristle shaving brush
Shark super stainless razor blade
Merkur 25c open comb razor
Body Shop Maca Root shaving cream
Edwin Jagger sea buckthorn aftershave lotion.
As I don't like to open anything if I already have something else open, it'll be Body Shop shaving cream for quite a while. But the shaves are really good. By having BS Maca root as a 'contstant' for a while, other 'variables' like blades, brushes etc can be tried out.
The face scrub was a bit runny, normally it's quite thick and dry which I prefer. Still, £1 from Poundland.

Pre Prep + Continente Marine shaving cream + Frank Shaving Finest 23x45mm. + UFO U2 Long with Weber ARC and Gillette Platinum + "Old" Yacht Man lotion and balm
Today I have used some "fresh" products with this new little chinese brush. A good performer with decent backbone yet soft tips, I should break it a bit more, but seems very promising!
Cheers!
