This was a nice addition to my collection of Injectors as my original Golden 500 had a wobbly head. Got this Hydromagic 500 in nice condition which delivers a decent Shave.

18 January

Wickham 1912 Cashmere
Plisson synthetic
ES Claymore Evolution
Feather Professional
Bart’s Balm Ben Kilbreck


​

A very comfortable shave this morning, two passes with the Claymore was good enough. The lather was more than good enough and the sun is shining too.

My Shave today consisted of...

Prep Hot shower with Signature soaps shower scrub, then Proraso preshave balm.
Brush Yaqi synthetic.
Soap Proraso cool.
Razors PearlBlaze & Gillette Raz=r
Blade Super Shave X
Bowl Captains Choice Obsidian Copper.
Aftershave Proraso cool aftershave.
Balm Proraso cool moisturiser.

I went full on Proraso today as I looked at all my gear and thought well it's been ages why not break it all out and use it.
The Yaqi brush I didn't realise I even owned so definitely been an age since that got a turn in my rotation.

As usual all the Proraso stuff performed perfectly and still amazing for the price point but it's not a Trumpers cream or a MWF and it shows but it's half the cost. That being said I am happy to pay more money for better because of the sheer pleasure I get out of using them.
The brush provided a great lather so no complaints from me.
I have to say the star of the show was the Super Shave X blade, I usually throw a blade away after 3 uses but it's still shaving as well as the first so I have decided to pop it into another razor and see if it can deliver 3 more.
That's all folks from me and have a cracking day ahead.

• 3one6
• Personna Platinum
• Omega 10066
• Taylor of Old Bond Street Almond cream
• Bull Dog Original moisturiser

A return to TOBS for the first time in almost 10 years. I have a distant memory of the cream drying quickly on the chops; however, this almond cream was a delight to use. Bloody love almond creams. Bizarrely I have never used Cella which seems to be one of the cheaper and more popular creams.
