This morning:
Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap
Razor: Feather Artist Club RG (wood), Pro blade (2)
Cream: Taylor's Violets
Brush: Neep #1059 soapstone 26mm super silvertip badger
Balm: Bulldog
Scent: Trumper's Sandalwood
Result: reasonably close but a bit hostile
Decent, if unspectacular, lather today, but quite a rough-feeling shave with a mininick and some base-of-neck irritation, not aided by one of my firmest collars on today's shirt. Maybe this blade could do with another dose of towel stropping - I've heard it suggested one gets the occasional rough example. Or maybe I'm just shaving like a hamfisted clot.
The brush has bloomed beautifully and hugely, and is clearly going to be fabulous in another week's time.
