Today I thought I would try something a little different
Italian Collini Inch & 7/8
Pre Shave: Mangers Sugar Soap
Soap: Fairy Apple & Lime
ASB: Comfort Exhilarations Bluebell & Bergamot Thrill
EDC: Marks & Spencer Carpet & Fabric Freshner

The shave was some what disappointing, the Apple & Lime clashed with the Bluebell & Bergamot, the Mangers Sugar Soap left an unpleasant residue.

The blade was freshly honed so no disappointment there:)

Have a nice day all.

Thanks for the kind comments guys, I have no idea on "Pill For Loaf"?
ahhhhh....yes I do, I got it....YES!

Tomorrow is just another shave, see you there.:)
 
This morning:

Prep: Hot shower
Razor: Feather Artist Club RG (wood), Pro blade (2)
Soap: La Toja stick
Brush: Vie-Long Horse 13120M - "Wee Spaniard".
Aftershave: Prof Blighty's Yellow Ginger
Result: really rather good

This tiny brush seems to work better than its bigger brother. Did a fourth pass on the neck mostly to prove there was enough lather in the brush :).

May revisit my other Vie-Long this week too.
 
Preparation: Nivea sensitive face wash
Cream: Edwin Jagger Sea Buckthorn
Brush: Edwin Jagger synthetic
Razor: Edwin Jagger Chatsworth Barley chrome
Blade: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Post shave balm: Edwin Jagger Sea Buckthorn.

Pretty much an Edwin Jagger shave. I've finally finished a jar of St James of London shaving cream, after 4 months (started this last November). I ordered some stuff from the English Shaving Co. 2 months ago, and have finally got to the EJ sample pots.

The shaving cream can be a bit dry, so I'll need to add a tiny bit more water when lathering to get a smoother texture. I do have a 100ml tub of EJ Sea Buckthorn for later, but after finishing the sample pots I'll probably start on the D R Harris almond shaving cream.

Just two passes, WTG, XTG.
 
Sunday April 1st. Happy April Fools Day.
Morning shave today had 2 firsts: using my new to me: Gillette Toggle F 4 and a new blade to me: Polsilver. Great experience. Started off on a setting of 2 for the 1st WTG pass then 5 for ATG and follow up passes. Used a badger brush with Spezial Rasierseife Classic soap flakes. Used it once before, needs a good 4/5 mins to setup a good lather. Aftershave was Clubman Bay Rum. And Neiva Protective lotion. Experience was well worth buying the toggle.
 
Hot shower
Musgo Real Lime Glyce Soap
TheShaveDen Iced SubZero PreShave Balm(heavy menthol and lanolin,...)
Weber ARC razor/Feather Poplar razor with Feather blade(for finishing touch)
Astra Super Platinum blade (hand-stropped) for the Weber
Professor Blighty's Peppermint Shaving Soap
Ingram Shave Cream with Menthol
eShave fine badger (long handle, long hair) brush
Cold water
Thayer's Witch Hazel with Aloe and Lavender
Isen Vann Lotion(menthol splash from Professor Blighty)
Geo. F. Trumper West Indian Extract of Limes Skin Food with TheShaveDen M Bomb added for more menthol
This was basically my Menthol Shave Day.
