Prep- Hot towel
Soap- RazoRock XXX
Brush- SOC
Razor-Murkur Futur
Blade- Polsilver [5]
Post- Bulldog moisturiser

The soap has a very pleasant scent which I can not define properly, it lathers very easily and is quite slick leaving a soft skin feel. :D
 
Prep: hot water shower
Pre: cold water splash
Brush: semogue 620
Soap: Erasmic stick grated into a mug
Razor: Ever ready 1912
Blade: Gem stainless
Post: Nivea shave balm

A great shave maybe a bit too close as I can feel abit of razor burn. Think the 1912 is my favourite razor l enjoy using my others but nothing makes the sound of the 1912 mowing down the whiskers.

26 November Shave

The Omega Pro 49 worked up a really good lather with the Mama Bear's Czar's Choice (initial batch 2011). This has a very strong Cilantro scent that will definitely arouse the senses. The fragrance of Czar's Choice works very well with the Mama Bear's Spicy Lime. The Short Handled SA with the Big Ben behaved flawlessly. Two pass BBS. A really good shave this morning.​

Aaargh!

Highs and lows in one shave

Hot water face wash with olive oil soap
Eucris Soap from "A close shave"
Vulfix 404 Bodger
Vintage Le Coq
Personna Blue (1)
Merkur 37c
Personna Blue (3)
Alum
Cien ASB
X-Bolt

First the good - the Eucris produced a lovely thick lather which worked well. This was was my second bash with the Le Coq and unfortunately it's just too aggressive for me. I had to finish off with my trusty Merkur slant.

If you've ever wanted to try one of these unusual French OCs, watch out on BST at the weekend.
