Hot Rinse & Cold Rinse
Novaya Zarya Russian Forest Cologne (as Aftershave)
Jacques Bogart One Man Show EDT
Pinaud Eau de Quinine Hair Tonic​

Super! Just a reminder of Super Smooth after using Wickham's forthcoming 1912 soap so much recently. Super Smooth is still a smashing soap, but 1912 is really quite something ...

Regarding the brush, I think I spoke too soon about it not tangling. I had a horrid knotted mess after lathering up. Combed through with a pet comb, it's now untangled but I don't think I can be bothered doing that every shave.

Were you face or bowl lathering Paul?

Talk of Travel Razors determined my SOTD !
Vulfix 404 mixed
Lea Classic Cream
Feather Neo F11
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion

As going away for a few days, and read a Thread on Choice of Travel Razors, decided to dig out the Feather Cartridge Razor. Had not really liked it on the one occasion I had used it.

This time I started of by establishing a cutting angle, and used shot strokes to eradicate stubble. This worked very well
with a fixed head on the cheeks, but decided to use floating head on the neck. Near the end of the shave I was able to use longer strokes to polish up the Cheeks & Neck.

Overall quite pleased with the finish , but because I took care and did not want a sore face, I would say that Shave Time
was similar to that taken with Proper Razors. May pack one in Hand Luggage, in case Main Luggage goes astray.

SOTD Fri. 5/13/16

Razor: Gillette Slim Adj. (9)

Good morning friends. Fabulous 3 pass dolphin smooth shave today with the Slim set to 9. Easy slick, rich lather from La Toja shave stick, what a lovely soap it is. This Fine brush is a 20mm and is so wonderful for face lathering it's ultra soft but offers plenty of backbone and can handle any soap. Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill balm provides such a soothing finish, just wonderful. Have a great shave and a great day guys. :)

I have had a couple of days rest from the B1 slant.
I don't think that I apply any pressure but consecutive days use with this razor leaves my face quite sore.
Must persevere and master.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Cheers
