Brush: Wolf Whiskers Boti Chubby
Soap: B&M Le Grand Chypre
Razor: Fuck knows, but never again
Blade: London Bridge
Post: B&M Le Grand Chypre

That was not a good shave this morning, there's a hardware scavenger hunt through this whole thing, and one of those is a coloured razor. So grabbed one my Mrs has tried out but didn't get on with (luckily it didn't put her off and she uses the leaf), but I can see why she didn't get on with it. Bloody horrible, sounded like a buzz saw and about as effective as a sponge. Wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy...koraat tomorrow so it'll be a hell of a lot better!

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers

Marc

Thia 365 blade makes no reference to Gillette and is a decent performer for the first pass or so. It seems to taper off a bit by the second and third but is still a good budget blade.

After my excellent shave yesterday with my recently acquired near wedge, there was almost nothing to shave. But we do this for pleasure, not out of necessity, and today is Sunday anyway. This Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink is on its 6th run and still performing great as you expect from AC. I do enjoy this V3A, not least the solid heft of the stainless and of course the smooth, easily manoeuvrable head. I'm enjoying the fresh scent of E&S Oasis. I need to find a suitable aftershave to go with it, most of my choices are a world away from this marine scent. Hollister Wave fits the bill best out of what I have.
