Friday xxxi October, 2014

Prep: Hot shower, Dr Bronner Soap
Pre: Cold water splash
Brush: Fredk. Dickinson & Gilroys Liver Boar Brush
Soap: Mama Bear's Ye Old Barbershoppe Shave Stick
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: Astra Super Stainless #1
Post: Alt Innsbruck Splash

Result: I little rough this morning. Probably because I got bored in my hotel room last night and had a quick one pass shave. Two and half passes this morning was a pass too far methinks.

Cheers & Happy Halloween....

Can't believe the difference the handle makes to the razor. The R41 was always gave great results but the handle just balances it out so well and it slices through my hair effortlessly.

LPL soap is great. I think I'll have a good few days using it as I've ignored it for the last few months.

Just used the DE tonight.

Pre: Hot wash with dove soap.
Soap: Tabac stick molded into a plastic tub.
Brush: Vie Long Horse.
Razor: EJ89.
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue.
Post: Professor Blighty Hyperion Post Shave Tonic.

3 Pass shave today wtg,xtg and atg nice and smooth, however, it may be my imagination but its not as smooth as when I use the Kropp. I had a slight accident with the Hyperion it gushed out onto my hand and not wanting to waste it I splashed it straight on. No stinging but its a slightly strong smell
