SUNDAY EVENING

Aristocrat 66

Figaro cream (face lathered)
Witch hazel
Castle Forbes AS balm

Very nice shave. Not as close as yesterday (with one of the vampire razors) but perfectly acceptable.

Almost makes up for losing bids on 2 EBay items today. Prices are going bonkers!
 
Aristocrat no.16 with Schick Super Platinum
Tobs almond cream
Proraso post shave cream

Nice blade for 90% of my face but my stubble must be tougher than Dodgy's - it just couldn't do my problem jaw line and right side of my neck without a bit of against the grain which has left mild soreness and red blotches.
 
Monday
Vergulde Hand stick with Omega pro 49
Klar Kabinett with Omega 40652
Restored Hero straight
Thayers Rose Petal
ARKO Sport a/s cream
 
Simpsons Berkeley
Gillette Fatboy, set to 4, with new Gillette 7 o'clock blade
Proraso Pre-Post
Proraso Eucalyptus and Menthol Soap
Professor Blighty's Universal Shaving Balsam
Professor Blighty's Red Ginger AS
Touch of Cella Colonia Classica at the sides of the neck

Great shave, skin feels great using the Professor's wares, lovely smooth BBS shave. Also helps hugely using the balsam before I got to bed as well, wake up and the skin feels ready for a shave.
 
Monday:

Merkur Slant 37c
Feather
Neep box wood silvertip
Coate's Lime cream


I usually shave every day, but this weekend didn't shave at all, so had 3 days worth of stubble to contend with this morning. The Slant dispatched it with customary efficiency. 2 passes - very smooth.
 
L'Occitane Verbena Soap
Maxotte 6/8
Le Tuft Une Grande
Vito's Coconut & Almond
Alum & Witch Hazel
Botanics Moisturiser SPF 15
Coty Raw Vanilla Eau De Cologne

Jamie.

Very fine shave, even though this very sharp square point give me a little reminder how sharp she is at the toe, just on the jaw line, very good shave none the less one pass with minor clean up.

Monday.

New red tip from brinechild (thanks!)
Gillette thin
New Forest brush
Nanny's Yushu cream (again thanks brinechild)
L'oreal ASB

Pretty happy that the blade/razor combo is doing excellent things for me after trying it also with Provence Sante yesterday. And am loving the Yushu too such a tiny blob goes so far! :D Think I'll probably get two more shaves out of the Gilette before trying another blade
