Pre Wash neutrogena soap
Omega 11126
Mitchells Wool Fat- face lathered
Ever Ready 1914
Gem S/S [ 5 ]
Alum rub
Nivea A/S Balm
Myrsol Antesol A/S

Fourth Consecutive shave with the 1914. Constantly being surprised how good these
SE Razors are. Suppose being retired, allows one to prepare and not rush the shaving
process.
Will have to try a DE Shave, to keep my hand in- do not fancy SE shaving in
hotel bedrooms with poor lighting.

Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso pre-shave - sensitive
Soap: Tabac Stick
Brush: Mervyn 24mm silvertip
Razor: Gem Clogpruf Micromatic
Blade: Gem (2)
After: Tabac AS, Tabac ASB

I haven't used this Tabac stick for so long it had shrunk a little in the tube. Lather seems a bit thinner than when using the Tabac soap bowl/puck, I guess the bowl's easier to get enough soap out. This brush did perform very well for face lathering though.
I think the Clogpruf is my least favourite SE razor - just can't seem to get on with it. The Micromatic OC is a lot easier for me.

Have a great weekend folks.

Nannies Vetyver hardsoap
Tubby 2
Witch hazel/alcolado glacial mix
Encre Noir edt

This soap is so slick it's unbelievable and the scent is, if you'll excuse the colloquialism, amazeballs. Compliments the EN perfectly. No need for balm either. Must use this more often!

Witch hazel/alcolado glacial mix

Is that standard Witch hazel and what ratio mix.
