I'm kicking off this week's thread as I have had terrible flu for the past few days which has gradually lessened to the point where I'm now able to get on with most things. However, the frequent daytime naps and inconsistent night sleep patterns have left my bodyclock wanting lunch about now. After one hour's sleep about two hours ago I decided to get up and have a shave.
Gillette Super Adjustable on 4 with Astra SP
Vitos almond soap
Henk walnut silvertip brush
Professor Blighty's Universal Shaving Balm - cedarwood and clarysage

Decent shave. Hopefully with a shaving fix I can finally get some kip!

Did some ATG on my neck. WOW! Feels like the razor is really working hard, but the result is smooth and irritation free. I think I'm becoming an R41 fan!

Pre Geo F. Trumper Skinfood Sandalwood + Geo F. Trumper Sandalwood shaving cream + Simpson Duke3 Best + Rotbart 15 with Crystal #3 + Thayers Lavender + Geo F. Trumper Skinfood Sandalwood with bálsamo The Real Shaving cream

Today I have used for the first time this cream! As other Trumpers, is a good cream (although I think that Coconut version is the best) but the smell is... something more "smoky" than sandal.

Skinfood smells far better, and it's an all-in-one excellent!

Cheers!

Right I'm done with these Astra SS Blades. Got quite a bit of irritation when previously having excellent results with the same setup (different blade of course). Also the amount of glue on the blades is unreal. Back to Shark and Supermax I think.

The only other thing it could be is that I'm still face lathering instead of mug lathering but I don't think that's likely.......

Hell I'm smelling good though.

Excellend head and face shave....lovely day....football and maybe a tasty real ale!

Razor: V C Heljestrand no 9½ + a Gillette Popular for the head
Superlather: Cella + Irish Moos cream
AS: Mennen, SB
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Bowlingball clean (no joke :))
This gigantic brush's extremely nice, if you don't mind a lot of lather all over the place and the Helje's a top notch shaver (and very, very sharp - you can tap a hair off on it). May you All have great shaves this weekend!

getting the hang of the r41, a wonderful razor, a smooth and close shave. downside, i think i may have a reaction to one of the oils in the red ginger AS, it stung like crazy....a shame, as it smells really nice and my skin feels good with it too.

After a few goes with the R41, I thought I'd tackle the Joris again and give it another chance.

Wow, what a shave. Best I've had for a while. Really, really smooth and not one nick.

I might have to rethink flogging it now.
