SOTD w/c Sat 17th - Fri 23rd incl.

Sunday
Tried out the new/old, 'made in England', Gold tone ?aristo Jr / rocket /? Today. Used it with TSR's own French RT soft soap. Boar Brush and a new Bic bladed. Follow was TSR's own Bay Rum.
What ever the razor is, it's handsome; well balanced; and very friendly to shave with. One for the English.

Early Monday Morning

Dovo Prima Silver Steel
Penhaligan's English Fern Soap
Simpson 57
Alum
Old Spice Whitewater

A close comfortable shave, this Dovo is awesome. My 1st use of English Fern and not 100% successful, oddly the lather was exiting the brush from the base in a way that I don't usually find. I think this soap may be best suited to bowl lathering than face lathering. I shall persist though as having palm lathered to get the right consistency it was great.

Yesterday evening:

Hot shower
Feather Artist Club RG (wood), ProGuard blade (10)
La Toja stick
Vulfix 404 "bodger"
Trumper's Coral skin food and GFT cologne


Quick and uneventful two-passer before the banquet. Not as close on my neck as a three-pass, but by midnight there's nothing in it.

Enjoyable banquet, much camaraderie. Never thought I'd get picked for England and win a commonwealth gold, even in such a minor sport. Quite pleased.

I may try the un-guarded blades tomorrow, now I'm off work.
 
Prep: Hot shower
Brush: New Forest, 2201
Razor: Max Sprecher
Soap: GFT Sandalwood
AS: Proraso
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
First go with this soap and I like it and I had read up on it and it was harder than other soaps to lather and I still can get it better, I think. First time ever I flooded my enormous SWK scuttle as well, since I loaded like mad + had water on the soap for a minute or two. But what about the razor you're wondering by now - it was AWESOME!


... and some:
