S.O.T.D w/c Saturday 20th - Friday 26th July 2013

Cold shower
MdC Fern
Muehle Silvertip fibre
Gillette NEW w/Astra
Pitralon
Institut Karite ASB

Forgot how good NEW was, worth revisiting old forgotten things sometimes!
 
Prep: L Oreal face scrub - the light blue one
Brush: Edwin Jagger Chatsworth ebony synthetic bristle
Soap: Erasmic shaving soap
Blade: Shark super stainless
Razor: Murker 25c with Boots DE straight bar plate
Post: Crabtree and Evelyn sienna.

Occassionally I convert the Merkur open comb razor to a closed comb razor by using the Boots DE bar plate. The top plate won't fit due to the threading though. Not a bad shave but not as close as I would like.
 
Prep: Cold water
Soap: Speick (grated)
Brush: Simpson Commodore X3
Razor: Weber Polished/Bulldog
Blade: Sputnik (1)
Post: Speick ASB
EdT: Lalique Hommage a l'Homme

Early (for me) shave today.

Sputnik has become my favourite out of all the Russian blades I've tried. Sharp, extra-smooth and a consistent performer.

Pre: Cold water splash

Result: Excellent smooth, comfortable shave. First use of a Kai DE and it is certainly sharp, but not worth the hassle of obtaining (unless anyone is aware of anywhere in UK that sells it) from US when I can get Feathers easily.

Have a good day, gents.

Jon

ps.. Go Westwood. Can't think of a more popular winner if he did it today

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Polo 8 by Simpson
Razor: Tosuke
Soap/cream/AS: Dr Harris Almond + Proraso
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Uberclean :D
What a shave! I've not been shaving for around five days (hasn't happened ... well, since I was very young) and Mr Scruffy looked at me in the mirror when I started shaving. I used some Proraso pre cream too, even though this razor is SHARP, I thought "better safe than sorry". At the end of this shaving session Mr Uber Clean looked at me in the mirror :D
