Aleppo soap- Shave pre wash
Stirling Syn 26mm
MWF
ER 1912 - Bathroom set
Gem S/S ( 3 )
Myrsol Antesol A/S Lotion

Now my facial skin problems have disappeared, I can have a break from the safe Shaves delivered by AC/SE Razors. Got the MWF spot on today, so with a good lather had a pleasant Shave with the 1912 with a top notch finish. Found an old bottle of Myrsol Antesol with a couple of applications in, a shame we cannot hold of it in UK, as it was one of my favourites.

 
If you haven’t read James Clavell’s Shogun you should Chris, and if not try to watch the series currently running on Disney. I’m not sure it helps better to understand modern Japan but it sure as hell is a superb story. The cross dresser does look a bit like the guy who plays the Anjin but I wouldn’t swear to it
 
Superb! I wondered if this blade would perform better in a more aggressive razor, like the Treet Dura Sharp in the Pearl Flexi.
I'm pleased to get such a close and comfortable shave. There was quite a bit of sting from the aftershave which surprised me as I felt no irritation while shaving.

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Neo Lux Schrägschnitt
Blade: Treet Classic
Brush: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Amber Aerolite Stygian Synthetic
Lather: SigNature Novus Spice
Aftershave: Old Spice (1950s)
 
Smoooth…

A welcome return to the Timor/Personna combo. Superb shave with no nicks, no weepers, no irritation. Another point of interest (?) is that I’m now shaving every second day instead of every third day… otherwise I’d never get through all the blades and soap.

Great lather from the ES medium synthetic and Trumpers.

Just want the same level of performance from the Rockwell (with Personna)… probably on R2… otherwise it’s back on the naughty step.

Soap - Arran soap Co. Machrie
Razor - Blackland Tradere
Blade - Personna Lab Blue

I find the Machrie is a lighter, fresher scent than the Lochranza, very uplifting.
I did enjoy that.
Back to training today after a 5 month layoff due to a damaged kneecap.
Enjoy your day all.
