Thursday 8th March

RSC Facial Scrub and Olive Oil Soap
Vitos PreShave Cream
OSP Fougere Soap
Omega 10065 Boar Brush
Ming Shi 2000S Razor on 3.5 and 5.5 settings with a Gillette Super Thin Blade
Alum Block and Rinse
BBA PS Balm
Brut Eau de Brut AS

I have had a Futur for years and only bought the Ming Shi because it is cheap and I wanted to compare the performance. To my surprise I found it to be as good as the original (YMMV) and find myself reaching for it when I want an adjustable shave!
Due to @Blademonkey I have a tub of OSP Fougere and this provided a lather and scent I have come to expect of OSP soaps.

3 passes for a super smooth shave

This may be my last SOTD until next week. My partner and I leave for NI tomorrow morning for a long weekend. Preparations for the wedding are in order as time is marching on!

Shave of the day, Wednesday 07 March 2018 - Birthday shave

Pre-shave - Warm shower, face wash Musgo Real Classic Glycerin Oil Soap, followed by warm water splash.
Cream - Bluebeards Revenge Shave Cream.
Brush - Simpsons Chubby 2 Synthetic.
Bowl - Little Wren Pottery.
Razor - Colonial The General SS.
Blade - Kai Captain (Pink) Mild (day 2).
Post shave - Myrsol After Shave Balsamic Water.

A great shave - read an interesting article on Executive Shaving, about a 2 pass shave - XTG and ATG.

Gave it a try - very impressive results: 2 passes XTG and ATG on the face with WTG and ATG on the neck.

Face still feels BBS 15 hours after my morning shave. I had ordered some OSP Barbour Shop cream and splash for my birthday, which was waiting for me when I came home. I did not need to shave and decided to leave my face alone.

I'm looking forward to trying out the OSP Barbourshop cream. I also orderd some Proline B30 blades

All the best,

Chris

Can you please check the glue bump on Stirling brush? I have it, but mine has a rather significant glue bump. Around 1.5 cm, if not more.
