That is the highest complement I could ever wish for.:)
It was the least I could do however,they all deserve recognition for what they did, it's humbling to listen to the stories that my grandfather told when he was alive,and to think he volunteered to put himself in harms way.
 
THURSDAY EVENING

Prep: Hot rinse
Razor: Kai Excelia \ Mergress long handle
Blade: Feather Proguard (3) \ Feather (2)
Brush: Neep Jasper Aztec
Soap: T&H No 10 cream - scuttle lathered
Post: Witch hazel and T&H No 10 balm

A week of claret ended with another couple of weepers but I think I'd opened up old wounds. Need a couple of days rest.

On the plus side, this cream is damn good with a really nice 'fresh' scent. It smells a bit like some hair tonic my Grandad used to have.

Very muggy tonight. Should have cold water shaved really.

Your shaves sounded more like whittling lessons. I am sad for your 'new' and less bumpy face.

As I stated in another post, today I decided to commemorate D Day in my own little way by shaving with only British products.
Nannys rubbed into the 3 day growth to soften it while I showered with the last of my Nannys bathroom soap (is that the correct term?)
Lathered up with a home made brush, (unfortunately the knot is not from this land :-( )
Nannys Eucalyptus and tea tree soap
Gillette Rockt HD ( as nobody wants to release me from it)
Scottish Perma-Sharp
Followed by some lemony AS stuff that Hairsuite made (god only knows from what but it smells nice)

Another very good shave followed by a wee braaii for the familly.
A very pleasant evening indeed

Daz, you are a Gentleman indeed. You love the Scottish Perma. Yet you are still willing to GIVE them to those in need.... As for the AS, a cheeky blend for which I have the full recipe..... ;-)
 
MÜHLE R89 Grande
Croma Diamant
MÜHLE Silvertip Fibre
ToBS Jermyn Street Cream
Bulldog ASB

Quite a few nicks, second use of the Croma and I'm not that impressed with them. Also, my Jermyn Street seems to have changed consistency. It's slightly denser and more runny at the same time, it wasn't like that originally. Odd.
 
Nice early morning shave:

Prep: Village Barber Oil
Soap: Proraso Green
Brush: NF Tubby 1
Razor: Weber DLC / UFO Red Bronze Goliath XL
Post: Village Barber oil

Lovely BBS shave two small blood spots otherwise all good. I think I've final settled on Proraso and DR Harris as my go to products.

This morning:

Prep: Cold rinse
Razor: William Rodgers "The Favorite", restored by Jamie
Brush: Simpson Commodore X3 in Best
Soap: Nanny's French Lavender (hard)

This razor probably is my favourite, in fact, not because of how it shaves (though it does shave really rather well now) but because of the kindnesses of which it reminds me.
