[PavlovsDog]

Merkur 38B
Big Ben (2)
GFT/Trumpers Rose/Trumpers Almond
Kent BK4
Floid Blue
No EDT

Yes, a mix of three creams, simply because I had these as part of the Trumpers sample set and having had 2 shaves from each, there wasn't really enough for a 3rd shave in any of them, so I scraped out the remains of all and mixed them up. The Almond pretty much overpowered the other two scents anyway, which is pretty much the reason I didn't really like the GFT Almond nor Cella - although I quite like Almond as a scent, it is just way too overpowering during a shave that I find it a bit sickly. I prefer the lighter, fresher scents hence why I like a lot of the TOBS and T&H 'named' scents, rather than specific 'flavour' scents. (I really want to find a better way of categorising what I mean here)

Three pass, face lather.

Excellent. As near to a BBS as I've had for a while. The 11c really is the business.

Let's also hear it for the most under-estimated boar brush out there; once broken in it is a really top performer with soaps.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage Rooney badger
1970s M type adjustable injector/Gillette Platinum Plus (NOS)
EJ Sea Buckthorn SS

Excellent shave with this razor/blade combo. The right blade makes all the difference and these old Gillettes are something special....sharp and smooth.

Monday Morning:

EJDE89
Red Personna (2)
EJ Badger
Proraso Cream and Balm
CK One EDT

This was supposed to be a leisurely head and face shave. However I went into a bit of a trance whilst doing the noggin and ended up slicing a bump on my head which gets nicked from time to time.
Bit of talc, cream, dabbing has calmed it down. The rest of the shave was good though.

.................................
Excellent. As near to a BBS as I've had for a while. The 11c really is the business.

I agree with that 11 c being a good little shaver but it was not anywhere near as aggressive as i thought it would be, i was hoping mid way between the mad R41 and the excellent 34c but alas not so, the search continues :icon_sad:.

 

[Francorelli]

Monday:

Merkur Slant 37c
Gillette Platinum (Russian)
Keith 2 band badger

I tried this blade for the first time last week - it works really well in both the Slant and HD. And I just can't stop using this cream at the moment. Excellent shave.
