    Truefitt and Hill preshave oil
    Taylors of Old Bond Street Rose Shaving cream
    Fixed handle Feather SS
    Brand new Feather Pro Super blade
    Alum block
    Generic Silver Tip badger brush

    2 days growth. The new blade took it to DFS in one WTG pass. I was enjoying myself so much I took a second XTG pass and face is BBS now. First use of the rose cream - perfect lather built on the face.

    Very enjoyable shave. [​IMG]

    Major skin flare up this week, which means I am forced to shave just with Feather AC and TOBS as I have found that when things are bad, this is all I can use. Guess I'll be solely using a shavette for the near future.

    I used my feather artist club ss with proguard blade for about the fourth time two days ago! (Three times in a row, two days apart). I have gotten over the fear factor, and so got a little careless and took a small divot out of my upper cheek. Styptic pen and which hazel later, and blood stopped. All in all, a good one pass shave! I am really getting to like this! My single and doubled edge razors are getting jelly.

    Shave #33 on the Cape, the +20 canvas added to the normal 35/65-ish suede/cordovan the day before has brought the edge back pretty well. The Simpsons 58 Manchurian did the tango with the Mango for slick lather and I Coloniali AS balm topped it off.

    Cheers, Steve

    One handed shaving technique for fun. The GFT took me by surprise. I have been unimpressed by Trumper soap - it lathers poorly and doesn't retain body. This cream, on the other hand, produced an insane amount of lather, unlike any other I've used. [​IMG]

    I have been travelling all week and my travel kit comprised, King of Shaves pre-shave, Tabac shaving stick, lime handled folding Feather Artist Club SS.

    Back home now, Proraso Sensitive Preshave cream, TOBS rose, Omega 49, TOBS sandalwood A/S gel and I got to take my new Kai Excelia out for its maiden drive, powered by a Feather Pro Blade. 3 passes, handled like a dream, and left my face as smooth as an oiled lightning bolt.

    The Excelia was feisty today, on account of the brand new Feather Pro blade.

    This razor has two advantages over others. The curved handle allows you to hold it by the end which helps you to see what you are doing when shaving sideburns. The very deep jimps help your grip when you switch hands. [​IMG]
