    June 6th

    Proraso PS Red
    Zenith Copper Handle Boar
    Castle & Forbes 1445 SC
    Ever Ready 'Streamline' SE v2
    Gem Personna
    Armani Code Cologne

    Early morning shave, late afternoon post (no image, busy!).

    First time to shave with a SE razor. Went very well. 'Riding the cap' on the ER Streamline made this a very uneventful 2 pass shave. The razor lived up to everything I've read about it, and is definitely a keeper for me. Extremely efficient razor, the 2nd pass was barely necessary, save for the ever troublesome lower right neck. A little skin stretching there, and it's equaling the closeness I can do with any razor, if not just a little bit better.

    The C&F 1445 is another new acquisition, and didn't disappoint. While the copper handled Zenith Boar is still in the break in period (4 or 5 uses), the pairing did very well. Face lathered today, instead of the mug. A good massage (no scritch though) with the unbroken in boar compared to the other brushes I have, where it's more of a transferring lather from brush to face.

    Did have just enough time before this update to read through ~180 30DC posts from mid yesterday. Great images, cool gear (shaves too), and more.

    Hope everyone has had a terrific Thursday so far!
