Thursday:
La Toja cream
Omega silvertip
Ever Ready Streamline
Gem blade
Witch Hazel
Indian Old Spice AS
I used the La Toja cream again this morning because it was so nice yesterday, it didn't disappoint. Lathered it with my rarely used Omega silvertip, it's certainly a different experience to the Semogue boar and boar/badger mix I normally use. Very nice, just different.
Effortless BBS shave.

Thursday morning
Gillette face wash
Proraso pre
New forest 1901
Mitchells wool fat soap
Gillette aristocrat #66
Dorco Platimum blade (2)
Alum/witch hazel gel
Blue stratos after shave
T&h no. 10 balm
First go with this razor which has been passed to me by my father in law who was given it in 1959! Good shave but Dorco blade seemed to dull during the shave and finish not as good as I hoped. MWF does seem to leave my face very dry, so needed some balm before i Felt comfortable.

Wednesday night
Razor : Timor
Blade : Treet durasharp
Brush : C&E super badger
Soap : Wilkinson Sword blue bowl
Balm : Clinique post shave
I'm not sure the Timor/Treet combo removed any stubble but I still don't get why the Wilkinson Sword blue bowl soap gets such bad press, easily enough nice lather for 3 passes and plenty left afterwards. I've nearly managed to empty a bowl of the stuff :icon_razz:

Prep: Hot shower, face scrub.
Brush: NF2213 48mm loft.
Soap: Palmolive stick, straight to face- face lathered (obviously :blush.
Razor: EJ89.
Blade: Rapira Swede (5) single shim.
Post: Witch Hazel.
Perfect shave. 2 ATG passes, and I'm BBS
Very happy. I'm really enjoying using the stick as it was intended. I never expected to do so but thought I'd give it a go, and it really is good. I think I'm going off of soaps in a bowl, as creams and sticks are less faff when face lathering.
