Monday 9th April

Facial scrub
3P Pre/post shave cream
Gold Dollar 208 6/8 razor
Semogue 1250 Brush
Vitos Green Soap
Alum Block followed by 3P Pre/Post shave cream
Aqua Velva AS

Some time back Nic (Jeltz) honed this razor for me. I have used it several times now, and as yet I have not required pasted strops to maintain the edge. To me this says 2 things. 1) Nic did a really good job, and 2) The Gold Dollar has pretty good steel. Today's shave was an absolute delight. Three pass BBS
 
Am on honeymoon in the Cotswolds so:
Fat Handle Tech with Shark Super Stainless
Erasmic Supreme shaving stick (glycerin based)
Professor Blighty's universal balsalm: cedarwood and clarysage

Cracking shave. Haven't used a Tech for ages and with this blade got a very good shave quickly. Perhaps it should come out of my travel bag and join my regular rotation...
 
By the way, went to Cotswolds Motor Museum today and amongst the motoring paraphernalia were other everyday items to suit the themed decades, including:

gillette New short comb
personna med prep
simpsons berkeley best badger
provence sante
444/ old spice fresh lime AS

very nice smooth shave. got a decent lather from the provence sante, and the personna med prep blades are blowing me away at the moment. i havent used them for a while and id forgotten how good they are, it felt as if there wasnt a blade in my razor at times.
 
Hot Shower with Dove Clean Comfort Face and Body
BBR Scimitar Razor
Astra Platinum (4)
Arko Stick
BBR Corsair Super Badger
Prof Blighty's ASB

Yet another great shave from the Astra/Scimitar combo and Arko is just perfection when shaving. I've yet to have a problems with it and it just gets better and smells nice each time I used it.

BBS and a great start to the day.
 
Preparation: Nivea sensitive face wash
Shaving Cream: St James of London / Erasmic 'new improved'
Brush: Edwin Jagger synthetic bristle
Razor: Merkur 25c open comb
Blade: Superdrug / Dorco 301
Post shave balm: Lush 'Prince'

Pretty much an odds and ends shave, using up sample pots or leftover bits. Pretty good shave though.

Another rushed shave after I dropped the other half at A and E with severe abdominal pains. Was a concern it may have been Pancreaitis but that was ruled out and may be down to over use of voltarol this week following a bad back. Pleased to say she came home on the same day.

Merkur 37c - love this razor

Palmolive stick grated
7 oClock green #2
Blighty's Leather AS

My mother in law was taken to hospital with the same thing but sadly died, it turned out that she had gaull stones that had started an infection, and that in turn gave her septicemia. Might be worth looking into it just to be on the safe side;-)
 
Nivea facial wash with hot water.
Proraso Pre/Post
Arko stick
Gillette 7'OClock Yellow
Muhle R41
Alum
