Ladas (4)
Gillette Sensor
SOC 2-band
MdC (Scented)
Proraso ASB
Ditched the Ladas after the first pass and grabbed the Sensor. I ought to have known not to bother. I rather hope this was just a dud blade, as I've a Unuta77 packet to get through at some point in time, and I suspect that it is. I can make most blades stretch past 4 shaves but this was fairly atrocious from the very first past - almost Laser like. The Sensor didn't really make amends but, rather than push another pass, I called it a bad day at the sink and threw the towel in.

Prep: Shower with Savon de Provence Shea Butter Soap
Pre: Cold water splash
Brush: Kent Infinity Silvertex Synthetic
Soap: Palmolive / La Toja Frankensoap
Razor: Merkur 46C Travel
Blade: Schick #1
Post: Thayers Medicated WH, Zirh Post Shave Solution
ASL: Penhaligon's Endymion
Result: First time with a Schick and it felt pretty good. That said, everything feels good with the Palmolive / La Toja soap combo. DFS, I would say.
Have a nice day, gents...

This morning:
Prep: Cold rinse
Razor: Myers & Son 6/8"Â hollow ground
Brush: Neep #1156 cocobolo chubby 24mm extra silvertip
Soap: Prof Blighty's Rosewood
Start of the first pass on the right-hand side, applied razor to cheekbone and then unexpectedly sneezed. It's a lovely long straight cut, though (and not seriously deep, happily).
