Pre: Hot Shower
Cream: Prof Blighty's Harlequin Soap
Brush: Omega Pure Bristle
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89
Blade: Shark Super Chrome (2)
Balm: Blighty's After Shave Balsam

A much better result today with the Shark blade. I always tried Blighty's Harlequin soap today for the first time and was very impressed. Lovely scent, really fresh and worked up a really nice lather after some work.
 
This morning:

Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap
Razor: Feather Artist Club RG (wood), Pro blade (7)
Soap: La Toja stick
Brush: New Forest High Mountain Badger
Balm: forgot - totally unneeded today anyway!
Scent: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet
Scent: Penhaligon's Endymion
Result: great :)

Not much more to say. Impeccable. Still avoiding the cut except a light first pass.
 
Prep Hot shower/Nannys Lavender Soap
34' US Aristo
Lab Prep Blade +1
Lavanda cream
Neep Cocobola Custom Brush
Lavanda A/S
Usual 2 pass work shave, clean finnish no irritation.
Getting to like the Lab's and at 10p each a good budget blade.
Full on Lavender day today, must be getting touch with my feminine side........:angel::angel::icon_razz:
 
Friday 2nd, West Shanghai, P.R.C.

Feather SS & Pro (#3)
Frank Shaving Finest 26mm
Palmolive stick
Bleu de Chanel as, asb & EdT

Two passes, very nice.
 
Friday:

Proraso pre/post
Palmolive Cream - great stuff
Aristocrat Jr.
Gillette 7 o'clock yellow (3)
Alum & Witch Hazel
Pinaud Vanilla
Nivea ASB

3 passes and a little touch up, BBS results. It's been a week of top shaves, smooth and irritation free. Running low on the Proraso and the ASB, oh no, looks like I'll have to go on a shopping spree.
 
Friday

Trying out another of my latest acquisitions, The Gillette 1961 "Fatboy" Super Adjustable, that I have just acquired from sunburyboy93.

Pre: Hot Flannel
Cream: TOBS Jermyn Street
Brush: New Forest Super Badger
Razor: Gillette Fatboy '61
Blade: Feather (2)
Balm: Bay Rum

Another gorgeous razor to use, this was also very mild set to 1, I may turn it up a notch for the next shave. I think this may become another regular in the bathroom cabinet alogside the Super Speed. Very pleased with this purchase. :) :)

Another great shave, probably the most comfortable yet, and a definite BBS finish.

Just wondering what to do with the Merkur Futur, I can't really see that getting much more use now.
