Best shave experience in a while,
Got in, and the lovely other half had run a bath with candles and chillout music, with a glass of prosecco on the side of it.
Prep - twenty minutes of sipping fizz in hot water, with a hot towel over my face
Soap - Trumper Sandalwood
Razor - Weishi with Wilkinson Sword
Interlude - Marc de champagne truffle with another glass of fizz
Cold towel (no astringent needed as so chilled out - no nicks or burn)
Moisturise - Homemade shea rich lavender scented skin balm with a hint of menthol
Cologne - Mont Blanc Individuel
Happy Valentine's Day all - going to take my baby butt and the other half out to dinner.

Almost forgot:
Jagger 89L, single shim, BiC blade
Omega 48
Ingram's
Barbershop Bay Rum
Astral
Fairly good. For me, the BiC is easily much better than the current German Wilkinson Sword but I'm not sure if it's as good as the Rapira Swede or Personna Lab Blue. Further testing required before I splash on more blades.

Astringent: Osma Alum
Aftershave: Speick
Result: Not quite BBS but close. Very little sting. Impressed by the blade - shaving was a fairly effortless experience.
I must be the only shaver in existence unable to get a good face lather from MWF.
Perhaps try a softer brush? I live in a soft water area and with a boar brush the lather is not as good as badger from MWF

Excellent shave, the avon balm is more like a milk than a thick balm, but does a good job.

Friday
Gillette Fat Handled Tech (English)
Red Personna SS (1)
Simpsons 'Wee Scot'
Tabac Soap
Nivea ASB
Forest Fresh AS (as kept in my desk drawer in the office)
Three pass, face lather.
Another splendid shave.
Tabac soap today; I love this soap but it's always a bugger to get a good lather with it.
I didn't change my razor, I've been using it since last Summer and it feels comfortable however another old Gillette was arranged yesterday so there may well be a change over the week end.
(Oh yes, a good squirt of Boggi Red EdeT was also used today - this stuff is absolutely terrific!)
A happy bunny today.

Morning, all.
Friday:
Prep: Claus Porto Lime-oil face soap
Razor: Åžik Bay
Blade: Laser Ultra from Wilkos (4)
Brush: Ecotools Bamboo Finishing Kabuki brush
Shave soap: Kell's Black Tea
A/S: I Coloniali Ebano Ebano
Tried a cold-water shave this morning: lovely. I'm smooth, not at all irritated, and my face is far less sore than after yesterday's shave. Still, four shaves with the Laser Ultra is enough.
