Hi martin Not meny people shave with a Super Speed do they, I find them more aggressive than the Red tip,and certainly more aggressive than you would think its going to be, it can produce a nice shave but only if you give it 100% of your skills, if not then Sid becomes a little moody.
Thursday:
Tabac
Semogue SOC Boar
FaTip/Weber Bulldog
Gillette 7 o'clock SharpEdge
Witch Hazel
Barbershop Bay Rum
Nivea Q10 ASB
Nice shave. I'm really enjoying the Tabac this week, as everyone knows, the lather is great and I don't mind the scent either. A little bit of irritation on my neck hence the ASB.

Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso pre-shave (sensitive)
Soap: Tabac Stick (soap of the week)
Brush: Traditional Shaving Co. Pure Badger
Razor: Progress @3, 2.5, 2
Blade: Iridium Super (3)
After: Barbershop Bay Rum, Lynx ASB
Tabac Week Day 4
Really enjoying my Tabac week. I find that this soap does need a fair amount of water adding to prevent it going dry and in response gives a nice moisturising shave.
After the first pass I tend to run out of a soap so I top up by holding the stick upside down and rubbing onto the brush for two turns.
The surprising thing about this soap of the week is that my skin feels conditioned and soft, kind of well-balanced. I'm puttung this down to another great feature of Tabac.
What's not to like? (ok, I know really.. for some)

Pre Marsella soap + Penhaligon's English Fern shaving soap + Pascualete TGN Finest + Merkur-Pearl Frankenrazor with Croma + HerbÃssimo balm + Penhaligon's English Fern cologne
A luxurious shave for this special and sunny day!
Cheers!
Wednesday night
Razor : Feather Popular
Blade : Feather
Soap : Boots soap stick
Brush : Omega Pro 48
Splash : Superdrug Sierran Breeze
Going away in June so trying out possible travel packs. geeky I know but needs to be done.
The Feather razor/blade combo really is very nice, anyone who thinks the Feather blades are harsh needs to ry this combo, smooth and sharp. Near BBS even though I'm not totally convinced about the Boots shave stick.
