Fri 22nd July
RazoRock Plissoft 22mm
De Vergulde Hand Soap
Schick M45 Dial Adjustable
Schick Modern Twin [ 1 - Japan ]
Alum Rub/Rinse Off
Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion

My First use of a modern Twin blade in the adjustable. My first impression was that it felt extremely effective at removing stubble , but also very smooth. Was more than impressed by the initial performance of the razor/blade combination , will see how it goes to determine whether or not this is the ideal replacement for the NOS twins, which are hard to find.

Classy aftershave... Very nice.
 
Hot shower
Bloom water from below
Saponifico Verasimo Dolomiti black (sample from Shavedash)
L'Occtaine Plisson brush
ATT S1 loaded with Gillette Rubie
Thayers tonic
Myrsol emulsion for afters (2 coats)

Another BBS shave 2.5 passes. I think everyone should try the SV, it looks really odd but the lather is great, copiously thick and smells wonderfully refreshing. The Gillette blade was smooth (better than the yellows/greens) with one cut which was totally my fault! Proraso gel to the rescue! Late for school run.....

Friday 22nd
Kent Infinity
La Toja stick
Gillette Guard #4
Alcolado Glacial/Duru Lemon Cologne blend
Lacura Body Moisturiser
Al Rehab - All Fares EDP

Another holiday shave. The Guard is an extremely safe, efficient shave and is ably helped by the ease of the La Toja stick.

Sun bed awaits.

Yes I have the plastic proraso boar brush made by omega, silvered Finnish, light handle but otherwise very good indeed for the price. How do you feel about it?
Enjoy your holiday.

Many thanks...I may pick up the brush as a keepsake. As time goes on, I find myself gravitating towards soaps (MWF etc.) and boars do a nice job of face (and, for that matter, bowl) lathering. Keeping my eye out for Saponoficio (sp?)...there must be some kicking around here.

Keep well, everyone.

Update: €13 for this one. From what I believe Proraso make the Omega ones and the latter brand them (I stand to be corrected of course). Picked up some Proraso a/s lotion...hopefully innocuously sized so as not to cause an uproar at the airport.

My Proraso brush is stamped omega on the bottom so I believe that omega are the manufacturers and Proraso market it under their name.
I could be wrong, if I am I'm sure someone will correct me and if I'm wrong I will be happy to be corrected.
I think you have a limit of 50ml as far as the lotion is concerned at the airport but again I could be wrong!
