    The E2 has slowly but surely busted the Schick Buster and has become my favourite injector.
    Happy Shaving one and all.

    I just edited my SOTD post with my thoughts on the Dr. Jon's shave soap and the Creed Vetiver Geranium fragrance.

    SOTD:
    Beautiful SOTD today, that brush is still getting better and better each day.

    Boar brushes are definitely my new favourite, especially when the split ends start kicking in, and i love how well they retain water compared to synthetics!

    I decided to switch out the Wilkinson sword blade for my feather which now has 34 shaves on it! Its still going strong, but not smooth at all anymore, not uncomfortable or tugging yet so there's hope for it yet!

    The Wilkinson sword blade will be used again from next week.

    First shave with arko cool today, and i am definitely impressed! Ill write a review on it tomorrow but its a great smelling cream,it has a very modern scent.

    This Wilkinson sword razor is definitely becoming a firm favourite fast, what a fantastic razor!

    Razor: Wilkinson sword classic TTO
    Blade: feather hi-stainless (34)
    Brush: Wilkinson sword classic shave premium edition
    Cream: Arko cool
    Aftershave balm: the body shop maca root razor relief.[​IMG]

    Pre-shave: Cold water + Proraso Pre-shave
    Safety Razor: Muhle R41
    Blade: Feather
    Shave soap: Stirling Eucalyptus Mint
    Shaving brush: Omega 10065 Boar Bristle Shaving Brush, Green handle

    Had an early appointment this morning, so wasn't able to shave with my freshly honed Koraat, also think it's better till have my wider strops, find those X-strokes quite hard to do.

    Schick E3 razor
    Personna blade
    Vie-Long Silver Tip brush
    Taconic Eucalyptus Mint SC
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Taconic Eucalyptus Mint A/S

    I used to have a lot of trouble with the E3, always got a nick/cut when using it. Since I've figured it out and got the technique down, great shaves every time. My face is BBS and very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    Nice touch with the mitt! Now if you want to shave like many of the players just shave on getaway days, which is to say travel days. Sunday night/Monday morning and Wednesday night/Thursday morning. Kirk Gibson style.

    Perfect shave today. From a restored German razor. I had a super smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS. Excellent handling, not to mention it took a killer edge.

    Razor- "Gold Bug", A.Witte, Germany.
    Brush- JR#262. Ebony/Birdseye Maple. WD Silvertip.
    Soap- ARKO/Sandalwood.
    Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

    An awesome shave, but I overshaved a little. The scents all came together wonderfully. The kelp is such an understated wonderful scent.
