That'd be good. Better not have too many people joining in though, as we may stink (fragrant) up the whole nation!

Gillette Aristocrat Junior
Feather (2)
Muhle Silvertip Fibre
Palmolive Classic stick
Proraso Aftershave lotion
Diptyque Tam Dao edt
I got a hankering for some Palmolive. I actually really like the scent - funny how we're all different. For reference: by comparison, I can't stand Arko!

TUESDAY EVENING
Prep: Hot flannel
Razor: Mergress long handle
Blade: Super Iridium (1)
Brush: Simpsons Emperor 2 Super
Soap: GFT Sandalwood cream - scuttle lathered
Post: Witch hazel and Proraso balm
Messed up the ruddy lather again! This cream has a very, very fine tipping point between too little and too much water. Had to add more cream to get a good lather.
Fine shave in the end though. Got BBS at the cost of a mild weeper under the chin from buffing.
The Mergress is so easy to use.

TOBS Lavender shaving cream
Henk walnut silvertip
Rotbart 20 with Astra Superior Stainless ("blue")

Tonight's shave. To the gentle strains of whatever was playing on Planet Rock :icon_razz:
Shower, Bulldog facial scrub.
T&H No. 10 lathered with my NF brush. I've used this cream exclusively for a few weeks now, with consistently excellent results. Great value for money.
EJ de89 Barley with a Shark Super Stainless (3) - a good match. The blade has given excellent smooth shaves with zero irritation, nicks or weepers. I've not noticed any drop in performance over the course of the shaves, but I have a 3 shave per blade policy.
Finished with a splash of Old Spice sensitive ASL.
A cracking shave, Gromit!

Greetings
Tuesday 22nd May 2013
Prep: Shower
Razor: Schick Injector G8
Blade: Personna Stainless Coated
Brush: Omega 10810 Boar
Soap: Klar Kabinett
Aftershave: Astral Cream (light)
A really easy and ultra close shave. The more injectors I try, the more I think I like this one (the last of the G types) the most.
Regards
