Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Neep, coffee bean brush
Razor: Mappin and Webb, Trustworthy
Cream: Arko
AS: Proraso
Strops: Neil Miller

Very nice shave and it felt right to grab the Proraso, I can feel the spring coming (even though it has been well below zero degrees C for too many mornings now).

Prep: Hot shower and Dove Face and Body Wash
Brush: Omega #10049 Boar
Razor: EJDE89L
Blade: Personna (Blue) Platimun (1)
Cream: Palmolive Classic Cream (Tube)
AS: Professor Blighty's After Shave Balsam
Result: My first shave with a Personna and I have to say it was a great blade. Definitely as good as the Gillettes maybe not as good as the Astras. I ended up with a very close, almost BBS shave and no nicks or cuts - which is always a good thing.

Thursday 8th March
Hot shower and facial scrub
3P Preshave cream
Gold Dollar 208 6/8 razor
New Forest 2222 High Mountain Badger
GFT Rose Shaving Cream
Simple Toner with 444 ASB
GFT Coral Skinfood
Agua de Colonia Rosa cologne
An interesting shave today. I have just taken delivery of some daily disposable contact lenses. Normally the first few strokes of my straight shaves have been done 'blind'....so to speak. I always had to remove my glasses as the legs were in the way. Today I was actually able to see what I was doing! A great shave with 3 passes

My first SE shave this evening.
Pete(Man of Leisure) very kindly sent me some blades for a razor I got off Ebay and for good measure put an Every Ready Razor in as well. Such a generous act, I was taken aback. Thanks again Pete.
Vintage Ever Ready SE razor
Gem SE blade
100% Pure Bristle Menu U brush
Professor Blighty's Applewood Soap
Professor Blighty's Yellow Ginger A/S
FANTASTIC result. One pass and the job was done with no nicks, scrapes etc. I did another pass just because I wanted to not because I needed to.No irritation at all. A joy to use.
Possibly the best shave I've ever had. Certainly this razor and blade will get a lot of use.
Also really loved the Soap and A/S...both the first time I have used them. Martin....well done again.
Very happy indeed.

Merkur 38B
Personna Red (1)
Nanny's Ice and a Slice Soap
Unbranded Badger Brush
Floid Blue
Ted Baker X20
Very nice shave indeed. This is only the 4th Personna I have used since I got a pack of 10 in a trade very early in my TSR days (so probably about 6 months ago). The reason I have used so few is simply because the first 3 experiences seemed relatively poor compared to other blades.
For reasons unknown, I decided to load one up tonight in the 38B. It was smooth as anything I've used and took the stubble away in 2 passes. A few touch ups on the lip and chin and we have a very good result indeed.
OK, I'm not going to suddenly order 200 off the back of one decent shave, but I'll hold fire on Piffing the 6 I have left (which is what I was originally thinking of doing)

THURSDAY EVENING
Aristocrat 66 - Aluminium
Gillette Super Stainless (2)
New Forest Super Badger
Nanny's Sandalwood & Vetyver soap (tin lathered)
Witch hazel
Castle Forbes AS balm
Possibly the shave of the week so far. Really came together nicely, and the light Aristo is a beaut! Makes a really nice rasping noise when you get the right angle.
