Soap & Aftershave Stirling Mountain Man & Ozark Mountain
Brush Yaqi 24mm Cavern Lake
Razor Henkels & Friodur 472
A good lather, while the splash was better, and the razor is just great...buttery smooth and softly keen edge...

Monday...
Am trying hard to use more creams now. Seem to spend my life with soaps and feel this is an area of development. Been using lots of vintage stuff lately so went modern today.
A very pleasant shave to start the week. Starting to realise how much lavender stuff I have too!
Enjoy your day.

House of Mammoth ‘Dammusi’
HSC Erskine 150
Koraat 14 2.0 light blue scales
Via Barberia ‘Aquae’ serum
Good shave but the Koraat now requires a strop on diamond coated paddle strop.

Pre - Sainsbury's Luxury Soap Fig and Jasmine
Brush - Simpson Duke 3 Best Badger
Soap - Signature Soap Valentia
Razor - Enders Speed Razor - 1930's
Blade - Schick Proline PB 20
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Tonyschin's Lemon - Lime -Grapefruit E45 / Argan oil Balm
A/S - Signature Soap Valentia
A crackin lather from the Duke 3 and Signature soap Valentia, a new blade in the vintage Enders (i did have to sand the ends a little to get it to slip in and out of the head on the adaptor) and i was ready to go.
The Schick in the enders was very efficient, i completed 3 passes for a very nice BBS finish.
I did get a little indication from the splash although it was fleeting.
Enjoy your day all.

Totally surprised myself on Saturday.
I usually shave twice each week, 3 or 4 days growth but on Saturday I only had 2 days growth.
I was a bit dubious about shaving so soon but we were going out to dinner so needs must.
Whipped some Palmolive cream up into a lovely lather and set to with my Razorock game changer and a Nacet blade.
Fabulous, perfectly smooth, comfortable BBS.
I can have a week off now.

Aleppo soap- Shave pre wash
Stirling Syn 26mm
Cyril Salter Solid soap
Yaqi Raster V2
Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink ( 4 )
Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion
I have not used this for a while, and though it is quite nice to use ,I am not too impressed at the finish acquired. I think that I will try it out with some different blades.
