Hot shower
Hot flannel
Jabonman Citricos
Brush made by myself, TGN Finest badger 22mm
Gillette 1961 Fatboy set on 5
Sputnik (3)
Cold rinse
Thayers Lavender witch hazel
Myrsol Lemon aftershave
A fine shave, the Jabonman is from a more recent batch and performs totally different to the Rosas I've been trying to use earlier in the week. The Rosas and Violetas were two that were from faulty batches.

Opiate-based shaving cream! Haha, that made me laugh, you old rascal.....:icon_lol:
Reckon I could do with some opiate based medication right now, for all the risks but naturally, will refrain.
Although growing a beard, I have delicately 'carved' a neck-line to keep it in bounds and looking less scruffy.
Gillette Rocket No.58
Vintage NOS English Wilkie
Vulfix 'Bodger'
Ingrams
Boot's Freshwood AS
Gairdner's Beard and Post Shave Oil
The teeniest wee blob of Ingrams and quick swish of the Bodger was all that was required before a bit of concentration and two neat passes. God, I've missed the comforting scent of the mighty 'I'. Beard & Post Shave Oil is in testing but proving grand so far - top secret of course!

Good shave, nice getting to grips with the Fatboy. I only have a little nose, so it doesn't get in the way of the Fatboy's head.

G'Day Mate face wash
T&H 1805 cream face lathered
Simpsons Pure Badger
Muhle R41
Personna Lab Blue (2)
Cold rinse, Alum & WH
O/S Whitewater
Azzaro Pour Homme
Much more impressed with the Lab Blue in the R41. Pretty much BBS in one pass. I would describe the blade as mildly sharp. Sometimes the R41 lets you know you've had a shave but I could barely feel this blade. Second pass was pretty much just a touch up.
Enjoy your Sunday Gents

Sunday morning:
Cold water splash
Truefitt & Hill 1805 cream
Simpson Commodore X3
Weber Polished / Bulldog handle
Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Clinique Post-Shave Healer, Clinique M-Lotion

Quite a nice shave, considering I'm still trying to come to grips with the atrocious bathroom lighting in the new flat I've moved into
