Greetings
Wednesday 7th July 2013
Prep: Shower
Razor: Schick Injector I1
Blade: Schick Super Stainless NOS
Brush: Semogue 830 Boar
Soap: Speick Stick grated into a container
Aftershave: Astral cream (light)
A truly wonderful shave these blades are very good indeed, I would guess they would have been manufactured during the late sixties; they came my way with a NOS Schick adjustable I purchased.
Regards
Dick.

Musgo Real glyce classic soap

New Forest Tubby 1 finest silver tip in Tigris Perla
Ingram Shaving Cream
Proraso Green A/S
Surrati Tom Aoud
Bit of an uncomfortable reaction to the ingrams towards the end - never had that before, hopefully its just because of a couple of days growth.
Face lathered for the first time with the 2 band Rubberset - lots of spine for the job - I get it now. May not use the oil to start off next time as the layer is undoubtedly lost when you lather this way.
Used the replated Fatboy for the first time since it came back - and the Group Buy on TOBS Sandalwood too.
Tadge red under the chin - but that's just me not taking enough care (again)
Pre Village Barber Oil
Soap TOBS Sandalwood
Brush Rubberset 400-3 2-Band
Razor F4 Fatboy (set on 2 for all 3 passes)
Blade Voskhod (1)

Please stop posting with pictures of your Rubberset 400-3 Brushes. I am insanely jealous of both the brush and your refurbishment abilities. They are stunning looking.

SOTD Wednesday
Taming the Cobra beast
Martin de Candre - Brilliant soap.
My RN Dreadnought brush in tortoise, with a 28mm extra dense silvertip knot. This thing holds a LOT of water.... and hence produces a huge lather. Some time ago I took the trouble of weighing this one: dry 88 grams, wet 122grams... That's 34 grams of water, or 34 cubic centimetres! (That's 2 cubic inches of water!). No wonder it creates a great lather
Cobra Razor - I still find it to be somewhat aggressive, but with a little TLC I am taming it (I think). I still find it a bit ungainly to hold.
Dior Fahrenheit to finish. This stuff retains its scent on the face for well over 12 hours.

It's a pain in the arse shaving at the girlfriend's place. The sink is too low, the mirror's offset from the sink and it's too low - meaning I have to bend my knees and move sideways if I want to watch what I'm doing. Luckily I have my travel mirror.
I need to decide on my next stick; I'm thinking LEA so as to reuse its holder. This Palmolive is in a La Toja holder which makes it much more practical. I then have Speick and Valobra to try. Of those I've tried so far, it has to be La Toja, Palmolive and Arko (far in the distance) in that order.
