Wednesday 17th July...

Two full passes complete with the shavette today. Some spotting around the sensitive parts of my chin but they're pretty much gone with the cold water and splash. Finally did the chin, under the nose and against the grain under the chin too. All very nervous and jittery but complete. The RK Pro Edge #3 was yielding a bit and I think a slightly blunter blade is a better option for now. Was surprised how much better the against the grain went than I thought. I can't normally do that with a DE razor without an across the grain first.

Special mention to the slick soap which allowed this to happen. Just rubbing it around in my face was enough for the tidy ups let alone the rest of it. Nice one @Brianh

Very pleased. Enjoy your day.

Microtouch TTO razor
Shark super stainless blade
Leponix synthetic brush
Mentha Arvensis shaving soap
Aqua Velva Ice Sport aftershave
Bod Man blue surf cologne

Warm shower prep with Old Spice extra clean soap

I did a nice 2+ pass shave with the off brand spearmint soap. Shavette shave delayed until my oopsies from Monday finish healing and I get a light enough touch to handle it safely. It's an operator heads pace problem. Finished up today's with Aqua Velva sport and blue surf to reinforce since AV only lasts about an hour.

Proraso pre-shave
Proraso wit
Proraso sensitive aftershave balm

Second shave with the Dominus. The razor seems very mild, but result after my usual 3 passes is quite good.
What I like less: weight ( I have a preference for light razors); soap is not draining well, you need to rinse regularly

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

The Omega shaving cream provided slick protective lather, the kick from the Eucalyptus oil has a wonderful cooling effect and a great morning wakeup call for my ageing face sensors.

A close comfortable shave to finish my shaving week off on a high.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Creme.

My face is feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Pre - Droyt's Classic Glycerose Soap
Brush - Semogue SOC BTS Boar
Soap - Signature Soap Valentia
Razor - Asylum Injector
Blade - Schick Proline PB 20
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Tonyschin's E45 / Argan oil Sandalwood and Jasmine Balm
A/S - Signature Soap Valentia

The pic is a bit misleading as i used a new Proline P20 today as the original Personna died on me early and what a change to feel and performance, the razor was smooth but very efficient from the off, not harsh or "dangerous". All in all a great shave.
Enjoy your day all.

Thu. 18th June
Aleppo soap - Shave pre wash
Omega 11126 boar
Myrsol Antesol
Schick O Clone
Schick S/S Twin - Japan ( 6 )
Myrsol Antesol A/S Lotion

just a bit of a tidy up, as was considering going out for a meal. Probably won’t go after all, but a Shave with the O Clone is not very demanding, and it really good at clearing the upper lip and nostril area. A small brush like the Omegs is ideal for working a lather up from a small soap puck like the Myrsol.

Ever Ready 1924 + GEM Stainless #8 + Yaqi Moka Express + Truefitt & Hill West Indian Limes + Hierbas de Mallorca EDC + Aloe Vera Gel

I hadn't used this cream as it had been sitting in the back of a drawer for about 3 years. On opening I discovered it had gone solid so I decided to use as a soft soap by loading the brush directly from the tub.
