Shave of the day Saturday 12th August- Fri 18th August 2017

Tuesday's shave :)

Pre-shave - Shower and face wash with Wright's Cold Tar Soap, followed by Warm water and Proraso (Green) Eucalyptus and Menthol Pre And Post Shave Cream.
Razor - ATT M1 (Atlas)
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Soap - Proraso (Green) Classic Shaving Cream.
Brush - Simpsons Duke 2 Best Badger.
Bowl - Little Wren Pottery shave bowl.
Post shave - Proraso (Green) Aftershave Splash and Proraso (Green) Aftershave Balm.

One of my best and most enjoyable shaves of the year, thus far - all of the shaving gods aligned.

3 pass: WTG; ATG and XTG. great audio feedback from the ATT - no pressure, got the blade singing like a bird.

Skin feels and looks very good. I really enjoyed the Proraso green based shave - excellent stuff, I appreciate that YMMV.

All the best,

Chris

Greetings All,

Tuesday shave.

One days' growth and warm shave

Preparation – face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)

Pre: None
Soap: Cella
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Shark (3rd)
Brush: RazoRock 400 Noir

Post Shave: Cold water rinse, followed by a shower then Proraso aftershave lotion (red) and Nivea 2 Phase.

I know I am strange – if I cannot sleep, I drink a strong black coffee then out like a light, and I am finding not using Proraso pre-shave has actually improved my shave – odd right?!?!?

Merkur 34c and the shark blade worked wonders again today (getting a lot more audio feedback) and the Cella / Razorock 400 whipped up a get lather – 3 passed and BBS. . . Happy, happy :)
 
Tuesday

Olive Oil Soap and Man Cave Olivestone Facial Scrub
3P Preshave Cream
Cella Soap
Zenith Boar Brush
Feather Artist Club SS with a Feather Pro (#1)
Alum Block and rinse
Arko Classic Cream
Blue Stratos AS

Post Night duty shave. Plenty of time on my hands ....so I took out a Feather AC folder. A super BBS shave with 2 passes and a touch up in the usual place. The Alum test revealed no issues I have been playing with my SEs so much recently...I really must use one of these more frequently and keep the skill up to speed!

Whipped Dog Silvertip 24*50
Speick shaving cream

Today is one of the biggest holiday here in Spain, coincidenting with main harvest time along the year. Now is dedicated to Virgins (every town, village has its own Virgin within Catholic tradition). Long ago was Ceres time and I guess if in the remote past wasn't dedicated to many other goddess. Fertility time. Take care young men...

Tues 15th Aug
RazoRock Syn. 24mm
Stirling Baker Street
PAL S/S Adj.
Schick NOS Super Chrome coated [3 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Tuff Green A/S Lotion

After a few days using Heavy AC Type SE Razors, moving down to this little Injector was going to be interesting. The head feels very small, and the Razor is extremely smooth but the Shave takes some time.

Am not altogether happy with the quality of the finished Shave,as am quite sure I have had better results with other blades. Must get around to using the Schick Proline AC Type B blade, which I have used with great success in other Injectors.

Cold Water + EVOO
Proraso White
Walnut Long Handle 27mm Boar
Gem Jr Bar + S/S Handle
More Cold Water
Floid Suave

A stars align shave for me today, BBS all over doesn't happen often. The Proraso is getting a bit boring but I know I can get good comfy shaves with it. The brush is a bit unwieldy but I love the look of it and the knot is nicely broken in, love the Jr Bar too.
