S.O.T.D. Saturday 22th June to Friday 28th June 2013 ...

[Rob Dery]

Afternoon, everyone.

Friday:

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: EJ89 with iKon Bulldog handle
Blade: Polsilver SI (7)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave cream: Erasmic
A/S: Boot's Witch Hazel and Tea Tree toner
Cologne: Professor Blighty's Lamia

A fine end-of-week shave. Tomorrow I'll be enjoying the challenge of using a Weishi.

Prep: Cold water splash
Soap: MdC
Brush: Shavemac 177 Silvertip
Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (4)
Post: Speick ASB
EdT: DR Harris Windsor

The more I'm cutting out products (face soap, pre-shave, witch hazel, alum) the better my shaves are getting, with less irritation and skin flare-ups. Maybe less really is more when it comes to shaving?
