For a fragrance so strong.

Gem of a shave today, BBS with little effort and no irritation. Must remember this combination of soap/razor/blade as it's one of the best shaves I've had.
 
Weber Polished
Feather (3)
Muhle Silvertip Fibre
Palmolive stick
Proraso AS lotion

Diptyque Tam Dao

Similar shave to yesterday, in terms of products, but I went for two quick passes. A third wasn't necessary as my shave yesterday was a) later than usual, and b) BBS. I feel like a change of strategy from my current three-pass attack. I'll do some detailed beard mapping/staring intently at my face with the bathroom door closed in case anyone see at the weekend.

Budapest on Sunday for 5 nights with hand luggage. It'll be the Muhle synthetic brush with the Palmolive stick but I need to decide which cartridge razor to use. I'll probably take the Mach3.

Warm shower
Hot flannel
Speick cream scuttle lathered
Simpson Colonel best badger brush
Gillette Popular 47 OC
Personna Lab blue (1)
Cold rinse
Witch hazel
Speick aftershave

Clean, close shave today. First time out with the 1939 Aristocrat I gave it a good clean it has some brassing. I had to tweak and adjust the doors to get then closing smoothly. The TTO knob is worn and has to be pushed up once unscrewed to open the doors. Once the blade was in it tightened down securely. I had to be alert as this razor is on the aggressive side :icon_evil:. I managed ok and got a fine shave in the end :) Altered my post to say the razors a Popular 47 I think...
