Brush: Mervyn handle with TGN 2-band finest
Soap: Tcheon Fung Sing - Tabacco
Razor: R41
Blade: Permasharp
ASL: Alt-Innsbruck

Great shave. The combo of the R41 with a Permasharp is a little less scary than the R41 with a Gillette Silver Blue but still more than sharp enough to provide a very close shave. This is my second use of the TFS soap. Great stuff, protective and slick and smells very nice indeed. And it matches the Alt-Innsbruck nicely too, which I can still, just about, smell.
 
Nishy's Melissa
Supermax Classic cream
Kent Infinity
EJ DE89
Rapira SSS #2
Alum / cold splash
Alcolado / Witch Hazel mix 3:1
Nivea Cooling ASB

This new Nivea balm is excellent really does give a good cooling effect.
The DE89 and Rapira SSS are a match made in heaven.
A really good BBS

The Fatboy is AWESOME, I love it whisker whacker on 9 nice and easy on 5. (I don't thin 1&2 does anything though!)
Disappointed with the lather today, its not as good as as NSS for me...

You got lucky there. Always a crapshoot buying a Gillette adjustable but looks like you found a keeper. That blade makes a nice combo.
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage rebranded butterscotch Simpsons best
'Kaily'/Gilllette Super Stainless (1991 Argentina)
Coates rose SC (old version)
Neutrogena oil free moisture sensitive skin (zero scent to this)
vintage 70s Old Spice After Shave Lotion used as cologne

I will go months without wearing any Old Spice stuff but this week it's seen some use for sure. Always nice having that in the arsenal.

I do like this cream and I especially like just squeezing it from the tube into my bowl. So easy to measure the right amount.

Got complacent while j hooking on my neck and gave myself a decent slice. Totally my fault and it called for the My Nic is Sealed stick.....sheesh. Been a while since doing that. Very sloppy of me.

BBS results,

Martin
