    Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
    Brush:- RazoRock Plissoft Synth. 24/57mm knot
    Soap/Cream:- La Toja (3 shave sticks grated into a 150ml plastic tub)
    Razor/Blade:- Merkur 34C / Gillette Nacet #8
    Post-shave:- Thayers Witch Hazel & Tea Tree Oil / Lucky Tiger Aftershave & Face Tonic
    Fragrance:- Hugo Boss (Original)

    Thayer doesn't offer or sell with Tea Tree oil, I add 7 drops of Tea Tree oil into my full bottle of Thayer and my face feels great 5mins after I apply Lucky Tiger Aftershave & Face Tonic.

    You might want to try it, FYI below do it yourself recipe is so effective and soothing to minimize razor bumps, razor burn, irritation, and skin breakout.

    Hi Bill,
    I use the Schick Injector II. They're very good blades but I can't give a comparison as I've never used Gillette injector blades.
    Cheers,
    Kevin.

    First use of the Mixed Midget and after the Wee Scot it feels like a monster.
    A little bit of scritch and it eats the lather but I'm sure both of these issues will resolve themselves over time.
    The Dammo works really well with the extra length and weight the 1914 handle affords it.
    A very nice start to the week indeed.
    Happy Shaving one and all.

    Good morning friends. Excellent three pass shave today with the Muhle R41 loaded with a Rapira Platinum Lux. Marvelous lather from the Stirling Electric Sheep shave soap. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

    Proraso Pre Shave
    C.O. Bigelow
    Jayaruh #284
    Darwin Hollow Ground Safety / Schick E2
    Darwin HG Razor / Schick Proline
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Aqua Velva Musk

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #284 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Darwin Hollow Ground Safety Razor with a Darwin Hollow Ground blade, and I just could not get a close shave. I ended up using my Schick E3 for clean up and ended with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
