    Razor: Personna Flex Head
    Blade: Gillette Twinjector (2)
    Pre Shave Oil: Homemade
    Brush: VDH Badger
    Lather: Proraso Green
    AS: Brut Splash ON/ Afta

    Redundant with the razor/ blade combination. Near perfect. I`ve been using a Williams soap cake for the last week, I still got a really good shave, but not nearly as smooth as the Proraso. So I`ll discard the Williams and use what feels soooo good. A 2 pass, WTG/ATG with a small amount of clean up and "Voila", near perfect. A Happy Camper wishing the same for all. God Bless.

    Yesterday's SOTD.

    [​IMG]

    I went with a Penhaligon's theme, trying out a couple of products for the first time.

    First up was the Bayolea Face Scrub instead of my usual glycerine soap (MR GLO / Wickhams). I can't say that it was the most pleasurable experience, but it did a good enough job.

    Next up was the Blenheim Boquet soap. I was very pleasantly surprised by this soap. I was expecting a Trumpers or T&H level of performance (i.e. poor), but it turned out to be an excellent soap that reminds me of Klar in a lot of ways. The Rooney Victorian paired very well with it indeed.

    I haven't shaved much over the Christmas period and had 4+ days growth and decided to use the Captain Fawcett's Beard Oil as a pre-shave oil. When I've used it in this role before it has only done a reasonably good (but not brilliant) job when applied to 2-3 days growth.

    It seems to come into its own, though, when being used with 3+ days growth as it softens the stubble (resulting in less tugging) as well as providing appropriate skin protection. I've found that dedicated pre-shave / shaving oils don't work as well in this respect.

    It's also a great Beard oil as well and does a great job on my goatee.

    Onto the Timeless. This razor is a beast. It's as efficient as an ATT H1 and as smooth as a Feather AS-D1. It moved down the stubble on both my face and head with ease.

    Finally the Endymion AS Balm. This is the first time I have used this with clear sinuses and it smells amazing. It's a great balm which is up there with the very best.

    Have a great New Year guys.
