Saturday, 27 August, 2011

Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Jaggerooney
Blade: Voskhod Teflon Coated
Brush: Vie-Long Gonzalo
Soap/Cream: Proraso White Tub Soap
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Proraso Splash

A very pleasant shave this morning. I'm liking the Voskhod blade a lot, and whenever I use the Proraso Aloe & Green Tea soap in the white tub I have to wonder why I don't use it more often. I guess the answer is that I like all the soaps and creams that I own and I like variety.

Johnny, a tad off topic, but I really dig your photo above. Did you alter that after the shot or did you use a special lens? It has a slight Holga quality. (I'm a pro artist/musician and I dabble in photography as well) Best! -John

Sunday:

Razor: Futur set to 2
Blade: derby
Brush: new forest tubby 1
Cream: bluebeards revenge
Post: castle Forbes lime balm

A great shave. Normally I don't like Derby blades but then sheer heft of the futur makes them work really well.

Also first try with bluebeards, really nice cream. Great scent and performance.

BBS shave

 

No, Jeff, it was my morning shave, so I squeezed a last shave form Derby and retired the blade. But today is Sunday and I'm back to straights!
