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.
 
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.

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.
