Cream: Ingrams Blue

Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Gillete 7 o'clock
Balm: Geo F Trumper skin food - Rose

It's my first time using a mentholated shave cream and I found it quite refreshing with a nice tingle after each pass

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage Marshall Fields badger

Surrey SS used as a stick (pre VDH reformulation)

Popped a fresh blade in this combo and whew.....what a frankenrazor. Very forgiving combo, yet still quite effective for whisker whacking.

BBS results,

TUESDAY EVENING

Gillette New
Gillette 365 (2)
Semogue 1305
Proraso Menthol
Witch hazel

Spent longer loading a drier brush tonight. The result was much better lather.

A very nice, close shave although a persistent weeper under the chin which is a bit annoying.

 

[Dr Rick]

This morning:

Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap
Razor: Feather Artist Club RG (wood), Pro blade (4)
Soap: Tabac stick
Brush: Neep #1059 soapstone 26mm super silvertip badger
Balm: Bulldog

Result: lovely

No irritation at the usual base-of-neck area at all. I'm trialling a slightly different pass sequence this week, which may help.
