SOTD w/c Sat 7th April - Fri 13th April

Last night:

Prep: Hot shower
Razor: Feather Artist Club RG (wood), Pro blade (9)
Brush: New Forest High Mountain Badger
Soap: Martin de Candre
Aftershave: Prof Blighty's Yellow Ginger
Result: lovely

Many thanks to Pedro for the generous - both in principle and size! - sample of the MdC, and for the other sample I shall try tonight. I liked the soap very much, but then I like virtually all my soaps very much - but the lather seemed unusually rich and thick. Which is nice.

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
NF2201
Palmolive stick grated
7 oClock green #2
Blighty's Leather AS
Blighty's Universal Balm

Small weeper but pretty good considering.

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;-)

Sorry to hear about your Mother in law John. Lisa had her gaul bladder removed 2 years ago and was told she may have a stone blocking a duct which could lead to further problems. Luckily this time it was a reflux problem giving the pain but at the time it resembled the pain she had from her initial gaul problems.

Thank you! At least it was nothing to bad this time, if it's any consequence I famously pulled my stomach once and went to the A&E with it, the nurse asked how did you do it,was you bending down to pick any thing up? to whitch I replyed, no my wife did it! She wanted a bunk up and jumped me and things got a little heated:blush:

WEDNESDAY EVENING

English Red Tip
Gillette Super Stainless (1)
Semogue 1305
Klar Kabinett (scuttle lathered)
Witch hazel
Myrsol Emulsion
Myrsol Formula K

Nice shave tonight with a few products that are new to me. The KK soap absolutely reeks of roses, caused my wife to raise her eyebrows when I unwrapped it.

It gives a very nice shave though, and the Myrsol is excellent too. A real menthol blast and very soothing.

Big thanks must go to Pedro for very kindly sending me a couple of sample bottles of the above. I will definitely be making a purchase I think.

Great first try with one of these razors. Wasn't sure how much more aggressive than a standard flare tip of the time it would be. Enough to make them worth buying!

My Red tip gives me one of the best shaves from the vintages I have tried so far.
