After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
fatboy/Feather
Penhaligons Racquets SC
Lucky Tiger AS
TGQ 'Cavendish Black' extrait

Nice getting back to one of my favorite razor/blade combos. This set up gives me a close and very comfortable shave.....can't even feel the blade at all on my face(which I like).

This is the only razor that the Feather blade matches up with perfectly. No idea why, but it's true sure enough.

BBS results,

Martin

Everyone's citing MWF is his favorite SS, so I went to the very bottom of my shaving stash to excavate it. I think it's quite good but not nearly so much so as it's made out to be. I'll brick-and-mortar-appropriate Cade, which comes in that remarkable tin.

Mitchell's dish may be ceramic but that don't make it comely.

BIC's pronounced "Beesh."

 

Thursday

Razor: Merkur Progress on 3.0
Blade: Super Iridium
Brush: Shavemac
Pre-Shave: Kell's Original Pre-Shave Soap (unscented)
Soap: Tabac
A/S: Trumper Marlborough (Thanks Big Rich)

The Tabac produced its usual wonderful lather and the Progress with a new Super Iridium blade produced an outstanding shave. I finished the shave with some recently acquired Trumper Marlborough. It is hard to describe the scent but, it is very pleasant and should not offend anyone.

 

A label snob at that.

This morning I lathered Proraso soap with a 1 3 0 5 boar brush, shaved the whiskers off with a goldedge dubl duck that seems to be losing its edge a bit... Maybe will paint it green this weekend if time permits

25.09.2009

Razor : C&H Birkendahl 5/8
Shaving soap : Proraso A&GT
Brush : Teteven
Aftershave : Top Ten Menthol

 

Brush: Semogue 2000
Razor and blade: Parker 91R + Feather 2nd
Preshave: Myrsol emulsión
Soap or cream: Ginger's garden, Lime Yuzu >>> CIBLE SC
Aftershave: Alum 444
Afershave: Nivea sensitive ASB
Cologne: Hermès, Eau d'Orange verte






The GG Lime Yuzu soap has performed poorly, I think it's a defective soap, or it had been a problem with this puck,....but I don't understand that the lifespan of lather is 20 seconds.......in this way I have to change to a Cible SC, that let me finish the shave
