Red Tip Superspeed
Permasharp (4)
Nanny's Citrus Zinger
Neep Soapstone Badger
Witch hazel
Clinique post shave balm
Last shave with the Permasharp. Not a bad blade, but not a standout one. Not the best of the Gillettes IMHO.
Oddly enough, it didn't seem to work at all well with my Ikon but fits the Superspeed excellently.
Not sure I'll be using the Red Tip later in the week when my skin is more sensitive. It's a fantastic razor but pretty aggressive.
A nice end to a great weekend. Also won some Castle Forbes balm on Fleabay for a good price so am looking forward to trying that.

Schick injector with Gillette Platinum Plus (second shave)
TOBS Shaving Shop cream
Proraso Post shave cream
As usual, the closest shave I ever get is with these blades.

Monday
Kropp 6/8
Simpson 57
Nanny's Ice & a Slice
Alum
Old Spice Whitewater
Last time I shaved with this blade had honed it and it was fine but I felt it could be a little better. Today I tried again, went back to the bevel and then finished with my new Naniwa 12K hone. The edge was outstanding and the shave as smooth as can be. My only problem now is I have to re-do all my other razors to get them this good!

My son kindly lent me his Feather AS D1, and I must say this is a cracking razor, nice feel and well balanced. Very Satisfied

Tuesday:
Truefitt and Hill lavender cream
EJ black badger
Merkur 34C HD
7 o'clock yellow (2)
Barbershop (Sunburyboy) bay rum
Fine overall. Caught a mole on my neck, looked like a scene from The Texas Merkur Massacre, didn't stop until after I'd got to work.
Distracted me from the result, think it's pretty good other than the couple of blood marks on my work shirt collar. Getting some funny looks.

Afternoon shave for me very enjoyable, another perfect performance from the Feather AC - SS, I must also give a mention to the Vito's soft shaving soap very smooth slick and creamy, gives a great cushion to any shave.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Neep, 24 mm extra stuffed silver tip
Razor: Wade and Butcher, for barbers use
Soap: Nannys French Lavender
AS: Old Spice, Fresh Lime
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
Nice to get rid of two days stubble, and with this razor it was no struggle (almost the same as shaving a one day stubble)
