SOTD w/c Sat 3 Feb- Fri 9 Mar...

This morning:

Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap
Razor: Feather Artist Club RG (wood), Pro blade (11)
Soap: Trumper's Eucris
Brush: Neep #1059 soapstone 26mm super silvertip badger
Scent: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet
Result: v good

Liked the soap, loved the smell of it too. Didn't use the matching EDT at least in part because it's in a bottle with a small spout rather than an atomiser, and I didn't have time to figure out how to actually apply it therefrom. I am aware that this must sound ridiculous. Advice gratefully received.
 
WEDNESDAY EVENING

Aristocrat 21
Gillette Super Stainless (1)
New Forest Super Badger
Nanny's Sandalwood & Vetyver soap (tin lathered)
Witch hazel
Clinique Post Shave balm

Palm stropped the blade again, and I have to say it felt smoother on the first shave.

Still loving the soap!
 
Wednesday

Same set up all week
Gold Dollar 66, Tabac Stick, Vie Long Brush, Alum, Old Spice Whitewater

Shave #4 since receiving and honing. A great shave the edge is holding up fine, still feels fresh of the hone no pulling even on the 1st pass with 2 days stubble. Very close, smooth and comfortable.
 
Merkur 39C
Shark SS (1)

Good shave, I think I have the hang of the slant now to the point I may even prefer it to my trusty 38B.

Today I have tested a local spanish artisan's new soap. It smells wonderfully and works really fine, but I had some itching in my neck, so I must test it more to see if it's because the soap or there's another reason for this.

Cheers!
