A fine shave. I used my new Steve Woodhead lather bowl today. I've been using one of his scuttles for 9 months. The quality is superb, quick delivery too. The tube of moos cream is empty. I will bring out a new cream next week, now which one ....

First shave with this new razor. I'm very impressed so far. Tiny bit of redness on the (difficult) lower neck, but this hasn't translated into any form of irritation. Result now is very smooth and comfortable. Looking forward to trying it again

I'm continuing with the eShave Linden, which is a bit fickle. I had some difficulty getting the water/soap ratio right today and understood why I didn't like it at first. A little experimentation resulted in a good lather, not as good as yesterday, but still plenty usable.

My Hawk DBSR is in fine form, maneuvering in tight spots and gliding along with ease. A good thing, because the blade I am using is a bit harsh. I am using a modern Gillette Super Thin today. I have used the vintage version of this blade and liked it very much, but this new version may take a little while for me to figure out. They're plenty sharp and glide fairly well, but they are also a bit bitey. I'll try them in a few razors and with a few soaps before I pass final judgement, but as of right now they are presenting to me as a bit to harsh for regular use.

A 2 1/2 pass shave (wtg/atg/xtg on the neck only) and I managed a DFS with moderate irritation, but suitably smooth skin. I think I'll switch to PdP and the RiMei for tomorrow's shave. I am feeling a little bit overwhelmed by strongly scented soaps and aggressive shaves. The PdP and a gentle shave with the RiMei should do wonders for my outlook.
