Morning, everyone.
Friday:
Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: EJ DE89 with iKon Bulldog handle
Blade: Perma-Sharp Super (43)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave soap: QED Lavander stick
A/S: Boots tea Tree Oil and Witch Hazel toner
Cologne: Nautica Voyage
Still getting good shaves - better than last week's with the Weishi even though the blade must have dulled a bit. For me, the blade is well-named.

Nice shave two small nicks, think I'm going a bit to fast with the razor as it feels so smooth. Getting ready for an old friends wedding.

Good morning Gentlemen,
-C.V. Heljestrand No 31, 5/8"
-Simpsons Chubby 2
-La toja Shaving soap
-Truetfitt & Hill 1805 After Shave Lotion
A special day for me, it is my 39th birthday!
I celebrated the day with my new Heljestrand razor (bought from Robert/UKRob).
What a fantastic razor it is! From now on, I would say that there are two categories of straight razors: the straight razors and the Heljestrand!

$55 is almost all it takes...
The advice of a good friend (who is a member here), "StrongVPN" and here we go. It's been a long, really long absence but the wait is over.

SMN
Mennen Skin Bracer
Harry happy birthday!
@ honey / boab: the connection here was apparently blocked by some source or authority; we tend to believe it was not government. Regardless, TSR access was blocked and it was not the forum's server (or hosting provider) that was causing this.

Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Gillette pre-shave wash
Soap: Prof. Blighty's Grapewood (soap of the week)
Brush: Semogue 830
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Razor: Fatip Piccolo
Blade: Rapira Super Stainless (2)
After: Witch Hazel, Barbershop Bay Rum, Nivea ASB
Professor Blighty's Soap Week Day 5
After raving about the Professor's soap all week, today was a disappointing shambles. For some reason the lather started to collapse and only barely made it through 3 passes. I may have not loaded enough soap on the brush before bowl lathering, but I reckon 4 superb lathers to 1 mediocre one is still pretty good going.
Shave was consequently a bit rough and some neck irritation afterwards.
You can't win 'em all.
Enjoy the sun while the sun shines.
