Tuesday: Lord Smart razor / Astra SP blade / Lord SC / Rooney 3-1 brush / Pinaud Clubman Aftershave

Another wonderful shave from the Lord Smart razor. It's one that, I think, is overlooked and underappreciated but works so well.

The Engstrom is a recent acquisition and this is it's first encounter with my face. It certainly wont be the last. A very nice shave.

Tuesday Shave

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Razor: Jaggerooney (Jagger-Mühle head, Rooney handle)
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Brush: Vulfix 2006 Pure Badger
Soap/Cream: Pre de Provence soap
A/S: Dickinson’s Witch Hazel/Pre de Provence balm

A superb shave this morning--couldn’t ask for more. While not a tallow-based soap, the PdP always delivers for me and I like the scent.

The witch hazel and PdP balm provided a great finish and I’m still enjoying the light, but mildly lingering, aroma of the balm (same scent as the soap).

Razor: Merkur Futur on 1.75
Blade: Iridium Super (4th shave)
Brush: Shavemac 2007 LE
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Cyril Salter
A/S: Speick Aftershave Splash

Another great shave! In my opinion, the Cyril Salter shave soap trumps Trumper's shave soap and is definitely one of the better non tallow shave soaps out there.

 

Today all my creams and soaps are slightly unscented, I have the flu....But you are right Kaveh it's not a cream with a powerful coconut scent.
