Prep: Cold rinse
Razor: Cobra Classic
Blade: Kai Captain Mild
Brush: Semogue 1305

First shave since Friday morning. Wiped through it all with no problems at all leaving a BBS finish. Always satisfying to clear away a few days growth!

Upon reaching the house at the Pyrenees and enter the bathroom and see the cabinet I panicked. I thought my stuff could not fit.

But finally I succeeded. You think I can do a good rotation with this material? Two weeks?

Dr D, - your photos made me laugh out loud - I had to show my wife so that she can see that what I take on holiday is miniscule in comparison.

Oh, yes. This time I have exceeded myself. I'm a exagerated! I'm crazy, I know. Who not? Carpe diem, tempus fugit!

And you should have seen the face of SWMBO when she entered the bathroom and opened the closet. She said. This is sufficient to write a book!
Fortunately I escaped to the garden, ha ha.

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

Second go with the AS-D2. An excellent shave. I think the feedback on the Feather (both feel and sound) are understated... once I'd tuned in to that it went wonderfully well... and I did notice that I was using more of an angle than usual. But every bit of your face is different, so it's a question of "feeling the Force, young Skywalker".

Third go with the AS-D2... no denying it's on the mild side, but the results suit me... smooth and VERY comfortable...

Worst shave I've had for a very long time. The AS-D2 is clearly not for me. I'm strongly considering it for the BST box reserved for the pre-Christmas buying frenzy... if I don't drop kick it into the canal first

Steve, what happened between the third and fourth shave?
 
Cold shower
Figaro P.160 (thanks Jon!) face lathered
Muehle synthetic
MEM OC razor w/Gillette Platinum
Speick AS
Speick ASB

Figaro behaved like a good soft Italian soap should - quick to lather, rich and creamy. Shame all of the Amaretto is gone from it, but performance is definitely still there! This MEM could be a nice little travel razor, will have to give it a few more go's.

Glad you enjoyed it....

Monday v August, 2013

Pre: Shower, Arran Aromatics Peppermint & Eucalyptus Glycerin soap
Prep: Cold water splash
Brush: Neep custom '67 threepenny bit
Soap: Irisch Moos shave stick
Razor: Ever Ready natural angle

All the best, gents.

Very good. Just a quick one so didn't have time to overdo it today.
 
Greetings

Monday 5th August 2013
Prep: Shower
Razor: Schick Adjustable
Blade: Gillette Platinum Plus
Brush: Semogue OC Boar
Soap: Tabac Stick Grated into a container
Aftershave: Nivea Cream (Soft)

A super shave, for me Nivea Cream even the soft version is not a patch on the Astral light and creamy which I find as good or better than any aftershave balm I have tried.

Regards
Dick.

Clearly yesterday was a bad day all round! Couldn't find me arse with both hands! Everything I attempted went badly... guitar practising, computer chess playing, coffee moka-potting.
I think I was trying to get a very close shave when I was not up to the task. I achieved the close shave by virtue of taking off a layer of skin.

Today is a new day.
 
I'm very impressed by Jabonmans soap and Myrsols AS products, excellent results from both this day, again :D and together with Wade and Butcher for barbers only razor and Rudy Veys brush it have me an uberclean shave :D
