Greetings,

Maiden Shave with the lea Shave stick, i've had it for quite a while but shamefully again, just got round to trying it out..The verdict? It's performance was good, considering it's a non-tallow based soap, i've read that it was originally a tallow-based soap, but the maker changed the ingredients using non-tallow products..all said it produced a good slick lather and the post shave was excellent, with no drying issues to my face..A excellent maiden shave with the lea shaving stick, which i look forward to using in my future shave set ups.

The indian & pakistani made razor & blade duo paired togther excellently, the Treet Platinium blade is very smooth & efficient on it's final shave it still performed wonderfully cutting through my stubble effortlessly still feeling smooth with no tugging issues.

Another excellent 3 pass + pickups near BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Morrisons ~ Aloe Moisture Lotion.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling devine.;)

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Excellent two pass shave this morning. The Omega boar worked really well with enough of the wonderful Wickham soap and exactly the right amount of water for the whole shave. Either I'm finally working out the brush or this was a complete fluke.
 
Thursday 29th November



Pears Glycerine Soap
Proraso Green Tea and Oat Preshave
Stirling Port-Au-Prince Soap
Yaqi Rainbow 26mm Synthetic Brush
Feather AC SS in Scotchwood with a Feather Super Pro Blade
Alum and Rinse
Thayers Witch Hazel
L'Oreal Birch Sap ASB
Grey Flannel EDT

2 passes and a touchup for a lovely smooth and close shave. I haven't used an Artist Club for some time so was pleased that it passed the Alum Test.
 
Thur 29th Nov.
Jayaruh No67
La Toja Stick
Ever Ready 1912-Bathroom Set
Gem S/S [ 2 ]
La Toja A/S Lotion

Though my favourite modern ER Razor is a Streamline, I have begun recently to appreciate the performance
of the later 1912s such as the Bathroom /Peerless sets. Today I had a really nice Shave with the 1912, which was not only smooth, but the quality of finish was very good. In fact todays Shave was superior to that with the ATT SE-G yesterday.
My second use of the La Toja stick, which provides an excellent lather with little effort from the Jayaruh brush.

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney Stubby 1 Porcelain Finest (22/45)
Martin de Candre shaving soap
Weber ARC/Classic
Gillette Platinum 'Swede' (15)
Yardley English Lavender aftershave (vintage)

Another excellent shave. I know some fellows don't like it, but I really like the soap. The ARC has more friction and auditory feedback than the Polished Head or the DLC, not something I'd like every single day, but fine occasionally. And the 'Swede,' much like the Personna 74, is right at its sweet spot now on the 15th shave.
