Liz Earle Shave Cream
Kent BK4
Merkur 33c
Shark ss
Witch Hazel Gel

Pretty good shave but needed Three passes.Not the sharpest
Blade but not bad.
 
Yesterday's shave:

Gillette 2-piece New
Polsilver Stainless (1)
Semogue SOC boar
Vito's Extra Super Coconut
Proraso Aftershave balm
Frederic Malle Noir Epices

My first go with Vito's - a 125 or 150g off the block from Connaught's in an IKEA Grundtal tin. I didn't load very heavily, and the lather was thin, but it was protective enough. I look forward to dialling it in. The scent is really quite different to Cella. First impressions are fairly good.

Todays shave was fantastic, i had bad luck with my first tulip brush from Rob, it had a flaw in the stone so it cracked, today i got a new one and a extra brush (lionhead) for free, cheers Rob. i also got my new scuttle from dirty bird so i had to try it out. it held the lather nice and warm under the whole shave wow, and it matches this new tulip brush pretty good :). overall it was a super nice 2 pass shave today.
