Proraso shaving foam (Red)
Gillette Fusion ProGlide

Right, that's me done with experimenting and what-not.

Final, final, final sale threads coming soon (Tulip, Red Personnas x800, Progress x2, Rocket HD, EJ <black one>, MWF, Arko, Semogue 830)
 
Gillette New (1930s open comb)
Star hollow ground carbon blade (vintage)
Professor Blighty's Grapewood soap

Great lather, great soap, great smell. Four pass shave. A little sore but not bad. Quite close in the end. These were a very kind PIF from tadpole. Review sheet updated.
 
Friday:

Truefitt and Hill lavender cream
EJ black badger
Merkur 34C HD
7 o'clock blue (Russian platinum) - 1
T+H 1805 cologne


2 passes bowl lathered. Not sure on this blade yet, didn't feel massively sharp but wasn't bad, it deserves another go. Da, comrade.
 
Friday:

Merkur Slant 37c
Feather
Semogue 1460
Martin de Candre
T&H ultimate comfort asb


I'd almost forgotten what a great combo the Feather and Slant is. I find that Feathers perform admirably in my other DEs, but in the Slant they feel extra smooth. Glorious.
 
This morning:

Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap
Razor: Feather Artist Club RG (wood), Pro blade (9)
Cream: Taylor's Lemon and Lime
Brush: Neep #955 soapstone silvertip badger
Balm: Trumper's Skin Food, Sandalwood
Scent: Penhaligon's Endymion

I thought this week's shaves were good. This was better.
 
FRIDAY 13th EVENING
Taylor Cream
Taylor Brush SB
AS D1 Feather
Red Super Thin (1)
Witch Hazel After Shave
Cade ASB

Very nice confortable burn free shave, however the first pass was not just as close as the yellows, as the saying goes, different blokes' different strokes.
Regards to all
Jim
 
Thursday

Muhle R41
Gillette 7 o'clock Yellow (2)
Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna cream
Witch Hazel
Nivea Repleneshing ASB

Second shave with the R41, going great guns. No blood and after WTG and XTG had a very near BBS. I would have done a touch up but I still don't want to push my luck until I'm more used to this razor.

Friday

Alum
Nivea Repleneshing ASB
