gillette fatboy (set to 5)
NF 2213
barbershop bayrum
Quicksilver balm
Quicksilver Edt

really nice smooth shave - the brush is so soft i feel i should be restoring antiques with it rather than rubbing it in my face!
 
Morning all,

Hot shower prep
Proraso Pre/post white with Hot towel
Proraso Red cream
DE89 with Astra SP
Vulfix 404
Kyoku ASB

Lovely 2 pass WTG, XTG.
The Sandalwood Red is another superb product from Proraso.

Pre Veleiro soap + Valobra soap stick in bowl + Frank Shaving Finest + UFO U2 Long with Gillette New and Gillette Platinum #1 + Brummel splash with Proraso balm

A good shave, although I felt this Gillette New head a bit agressive in this long handle. Probably I'll exchange for a shorter one.

Cheers!

Palmolive Classic Shave cream

TUESDAY EVENING

EJ Chatsworth Barley Chrome
Nacet Platinum (2)
Semogue LE 2012 brush
Nannys Nutmeg Spice hard soap - face lathered
Witch hazel
Wilkinson Sword AS balm

Very nice shave but the Nacet tailed off dramatically towards the end and has been binned. I wouldn't buy these again.
 
Merkur Futur (2.5)
7 O'Clock Yellow (2)
GFT Spanish Leather cream
Semogue 2 band cherry wood handle
T&H Spanish Leather A/S
Cowshed Bullocks moisturiser

Result: So-so. Something really irritated my face recently and it hasn't calmed down properly yet. I should really go a day or two without shaving, but like being smooth given that I have a baby daughter who needs frequent kissing. The Semogue was a present from Santa and I'm nowhere near getting the best from it yet. It's a million miles away from what was my daily brush, a Kent BK2. Also a bit underwhelmed with the cream, given that the T&H A/S is about my favourite thing ever.
