My sample of Nõberu cream was bowl lathered in a Thrown in Stone scuttle, this morning. A fine lather was produced easily with the help of the Omega brush from a small knob of the firm cream. A very smooth shave with the Rockwell razor and a little Bart's Balm to finish. A great start to the morning.

Fri 26th October

Omega 11126 boar
Vitos Super Red
Schick N3
Schick Twin -Japan [ 7 ]
Pitralon A/S Lotion

After my first ever Two Shaves with a Badger Brush, I went back to my regular Brushes. Use of a Badger has made me
appreciate how well boars perform once broken in. The little Omega 11126 is a real workhorse and can coax a good lather from any soap, today was especially good.
With such a good Lather and a dependable Razor/Blade combo a smooth and comfortable Shave was guaranteed, with a good close all round finish too.

Friday AM 2018-10-26

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney 3/2 Faux Horn Finest (24/54)
Penhaligon's Lords shaving cream (vintage)
Wolfman WR1-SB Polished/UFO Colibri
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (5)
Penhaligon's Lords aftershave (vintage)

This brush is sort of midway between its faux ivory (softer) and ebony (firmer) siblings in terms of backbone. The Lords software is wonderful, always a favorite.

Razor: QShave Futur clone (setting 2)

Nice steady shave this evening. Dialled back the QShave to setting 2 as I only had 24 hours growth. Still got a good close shave with no issues.

Have a good weekend.
