27 MAY MMIX, A WEDNESDAY MORNING. Razor - Barber Blade - Tesco Soap - Tabac Splash - Cade. ... Tried Ryan's 38C. Glad I never made a trade for one - or bought one - as I like my Merkur Long better. For me, the Barberpole is too heavy, and the grip too gritty. Thanks to PeterS for encouraging me to try my Boots/Tesco blades. I've two packs and they ain't bad, baby.

Razor: C3 Ball-End Tech Blade: Feather (2) Brush: Tweezerman Cream: C.O. Bigelow (Proraso) Post: C.O. Bigelow Rose Water Skin Tonic First shave with C.O. Bigelow shave cream. It did not disappoint. Excellent lather with a familiar smell that I can't place. The Rose Water Skin Tonic is excellent stuff too. I skipped the usual Aqua Velva treatment to let the Skin Tonic do its thing. It's got an excellent scent to it.
Wednesday: Gorey's Chairman Ming Shi TTO/Super Max day 2 Start-SC (from Russia!) Lubriderm unscented moisturizer Gillette Wild Rain-AS gel Giorgio Beverly Hills-EDT A much better shave than yesterday, however: I noticed the Super Max blade seems to have lost quite a bit of its cutting power. I think I'll try a different blade brand tomorrow.

Vintage Merkur Open Comb Astra Superior Shavemac 585 Connaught Sandalwood cream GFT Sandalwood Skin Food SCS Sandalwood EDT I sold all of my un-opened packs of Astras, but had a couple left over blades in the pack I had opened, so I tried them again. They seem to work well in this razor. I will keep using it and see how it works in a couple razors. I don't remember what I used it previously, but I remember them not working for me.
