outstanding pic! ::

 

Tuesday morning:

Honey Bee Spa sandalwood soap
Vulfix 2234 brush
Revisor 5/8 round point
Pinaud nick relief (one small spot right under my chin!)
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

Three pass straight shave today, and only the one small nick. Getting really close to BBS, and almost no razor burn. Have finally figured out a good against-the-grain method.

 

Wednesday 9th

Merkur 37c SLANT
Derby Extra
Muehle Pinsel Super
Mama Bear Smokin´Ss

Tabac AS
SheFon Cologne

Great shave with my new Slant, no nicks, cuts or other bad things - but a very smooth superBBS.. Cool..

 

Tuesday AM

Nivea Energy
C&E BBB
Gillette Milord with Derby day 3
William's Mug Soap
Aqua Velva Classic (the Williams box said to use it so I did)
Avon Hisstory ASC & EDT

Haven't used William's in a long time. It made a nice lather and had a good shave.
