Well, I've been away for a while and for a good reason too, I've had a shaving bud over for a couple of days (all the way form Australia, Frankenstein over at SRP :)). He happens to be a very gifted violin player as well and I got the rare treat of shaving to classical music this weekend :D. Today's pic has a small hobby of mine included, even though no longer an "active" one, but I've got more than a few crystal stones from India at home.

One Planet moisturiser (now all gone)
D R Harris Arlington cream
Ever Ready 1912 with GEM SE blade
Gillette Super Adjustable on 2 with Gillette Super Silver to finish
Proraso pre- and post-shave cream

The ER with a modern GEM blade cuts through stubble as if it wasn't there but I've noticed it can't give me a very close finish (seems to take off skin rather than shorter stubble). The SA on 2 with the Super Silver (not the sharpest blade) made a surprisingly good pairing for this job on my neck.
 
Tuesday


Fatip Gold Grande
Personna Medical Blade
Mike's Natural Lime Shave Soap
Vie- Long Pro Horsehair
Nivea Sensitive Post Balm
Krampert's Finest Bay Rum/Balm

Nothing short of a BBS using my new Fatip Grande. Has the same head as the very expensive Joris.
 
Tuesday ! The Transit of Venus . Yes it overcast right now so I may have to wait another 100yrs+ for the next:)-(.
Straight razors... Really thought that I was doing well with my Honing! Then just when you thought it was safe to put the disposable away...
Razor: Feather Artist ... Wow had to look if I really had a blade in it! Had put it up about a month ago. Blade had 3 + shaves on it. Took it out this morning rinsed it in hot water and alcohol and It really could have been a one pass BBS! Fantastic shave. Even milder and closer than the Futur .
Blade: Feather Proguard
Brush: Horse Turkish
Soap: Godrej blue hard soap. Also a great soap at any price.
AS: Osage Rub
Alum
Balm: Nivea protective
Great shave. For anyone that hasn't tried the Feather Straight .. I don't think you can top it for a real pleasant shave.
 
Tuesday

Proraso Pre Post
Kent BK8
TOBS Jermyn Street
Muhle R89 Gillette Black (1)

Slightly sore shave today not sure where it went wrong, think my neck is still recovering from the other shave with my straight. A small amount of irritation on my neck, I think I'm finding the TOBS creams leave my skin quite dry after the second pass, despite the lather being lovely and slick. It almost sits on my face despite some good face lathering. Which I'm starting to enjoy more than bowl lathering now!

Tuesday Shave

Weber Bulldog DLC
Gillette Bleue extra #3
FS finest
La Toja stick
Prof's Green ginger

The Weber teamed up with a Bleue extra is a match made in heaven! It seems to melt the whiskers away. Very close and very smooth.

I like this photo. Very good. Thank you.
 
This morning:

Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap, cold water
Razor: Joseph Rodgers "The Favorite", restored by Jamie
Brush: Neep #1059 soapstone chubby 26mm super silvertip
Soap: Trumper's West Indian Limes
Aftershave: Prof Blighty's Yellow Ginger
Scent: Trumper's GFT

Third shave with this razor and far and away the best - partly because less growth, perhaps, but I think mainly a combination of more familiarity and a slightly shallower angle. A bit less close than I usually get on my face, not far from right on my neck, and all highly enjoyable.
