Greetings
Monday 1st July 2013
Prep: Shower
Razor: Merkur 42 1904 Replica
Blade: Astra Green Pkt. + 1 shim
Brush: Semogue OC Boar
Soap: Arko Stick grated into a container
Aftershave: Astral Cream (light)
My once a week DE shave and a very nice one. I like the handle on this razor it is not too long and it's solid. A single shim gives this standard Merkur head just a bit more bite and IMHO nearly brings it up to the shave standard of a Gillette New.
Regards
Dick.

White Rabbits!
Prep: Hot shower, Dove Men+Care Sensitive Facial Wash
Pre: Cold water splash
Soap: Roger & Gallet
Brush: Neep 1940 Penny Farthing "The Pater"
Razor: Merkur 38C HD Barber Pole
Blade: Sputnik #3
Post: Institut Karité ASB
Fragrance: Creed Original Cologne
Result: Splendid shave this morning. Even on shave number three the sputnik made light work of a two day growth. The R&G soap is excellent (now I have worked it out) and has a sublime scent. All finished off with the Creed which is lovely, fresh and light.
Happy Days!
Jon
ps - Away this week so have packed a veritable cornucopia of razors and blades for use this week. Should be fun.
