Sunday

Razor : EJ DE86
Blade : Trig
Cream : Palmolive
Brush : Body Shop synth
Splash : Superdrug Forest Fresh

Very nice shave, first try with the Body Shop brush as I'm trying out a few synths. Bowl lathered the cream with ease but not the best at subsequently applying it on your face.
 
Afternoon, everybody.

Monday:

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: Nanjie tto
Blade: Dorco 300 (1)
Brush: Ecotools kabuki
Shave soap: Monsavon
A/S: Pashana Bay Rum
Cologne: Czech & Speake Neroli

The in-laws came to visit for the weekend so I shaved with a Wilkinson Sword Hydro three-blade and some Bulldog brushless cream for a fast turnaround. It gave me a visually acceptable shave and left me smooth for a short amount of time, but I was much scratchier by the end of the day than with a DE razor.

I bought the Nanjie off e-bay for £1.63 inc. p&p after reading Smallbeard's warning not to confuse it with a Weishi. With the Dorco, the mildest blade I have, I got a very unexpected BBS with absolutely no irritation. Hope it continues to surprise.
