S.O.T.D w/c Saturday 27th - Friday 2nd August 2013

Gillette Super-Speed
Astra Superior Platinum (3)
Muhle Silvertip Fibre v1
DR Harris Eucalyptus cream
Nivea Sensitive balm
Diptyque Volutes edp

Good shave. Bought the Nivea on a whim and it seems pretty reasonable value.
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage butterscotch Made Rite badger
Schick M type adjustable injector/Gillette Platinum Plus (NOS)
Kent SS
Neutrogena oil free moisture
Malizia 'Vetyver EdT (used lots of it like cologne)

Nice having a good injector/blade set up for when that monkey calls to me. Dial that fresh sharp vintage blade in juuuust right and bingo, we gotta good shave!! Had one today.

BBS results,

Martin

Wednesday evening

Prep : Clinique soap and scruff

Ok shave but actually prefer the Racer blade in this razor to the Rapira, which was a little odd.
