Still a bit under the weather, so sticking with the sticks for convenience. A carefree shave was had from the wonderful MMCP and Palmolive, almost feel human again.

Decided to take the Ever-Ready "Jewel" travel set for a test drive today... Lovely shave, especially following the instruction manuals advice not to ride the top cap!

A great looking set and a top notch shave stick. One tube for the brush and one tube for the Valobra ? Very nice indeed. :)

Yes indeedy. It's supposed to house a streamline but came with a Gillette aristocrat which I have replaced with the best condition 1912 I can find... Should a streamline reveal itself to me at the right price I'll complete the set :)

Omega 40033
Razorock Baby Smooth
Polsilver SI (1)
TFS Mattino
Thayers Rose, Nivea Men Cream & 4711 Nouveau Cologne

A late shave last night so only a quick one pass and touch ups needed today. This is a lovely little soap, good performance and scent. The baby smooth is growing on me but unsure if it will be a keeper. I'll use it until Friday then switch to the Parker for a comparison.

Yesterday's SOTD​
 
Wednesday 13th SEptember



Olive Oil Soap
3P Preshave Cream
Cella Soap
Giles Shaving Bowl
Zenith Boar Brush
GEM 'Push Button' Razor with a GEM SS blade
Alum Block and Rinse
Groomed ASB
Denim Original AS

Feeling human again after a busy night shift. An excellent BBS shave with 3 passes and a touch up in the usual place. Time to 'chill' for the rest of my Wednesday
 
Wed 13th Sept
RazoRock Plissoft 22mm
Cyril Salter Solid Soap
Schick E2
Schick Proline Type B ( 3 )
Alum Rub / Rinse off
Jaguar Prestige A/S lotion

The Shave with the E2 is a lot less challenging when fitted with a Proline blade. Though not exactly smooth the level of aggression is reduced, without loss of efficiency. Not a bad Shave at all, the only area where initially it was quite harsh was on the chin,but eventually finished with an extremely close all round Shave. Much happier with the E2 when fitted with this AC blade, but will never be a Daily driver.
