Preshave: Hot water rinse + bloom water
Razor: PAL Injecto-Matic
Blade: Chick (5)
Brush: Razorock 400 Aluminium
Shave Soap: Wickham 1912 Russian Leather
Aftershave Balm: Baylis & Harding Black Pepper & Ginseng
Aftershave: Avon Rugger (vintage)
Rough feeling from the blade, which obviously didn't take kindly to being left unused in the razor for five days. Some irritation and soreness, even with the slickness and glide of the Wickham soap. DFS finish and the blade's in the bin.

Preshave: Hot water rinse + Neutrogena oil free face wash
Razor: Edwin Jagger EJ89
Blade: Astra SP (1)
Brush: Plisson Pure Badger
Shave Soap: Traditional Shaving Co Limes
Aftershave Balm: Rock Face Shave Butter
Aftershave: Old Spice Original
The EJ89 with Astra SP is a very effective combo for me, a welcome change after yesterday's poor result. I'm BBS and refreshed, ready to meet friends for Christmas lunch.
Regards,
Chris
