Saturday Shave
RazoRock Syn 22mm
Tabac
ATT SE1 & Windrose S/S handle
Schick Proline Type P [ 2 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Tabac A/S lotion
My second outing with the ATT, this time using a slimmer handle which I have used with success on the Brass General. Quite strange that a similar style handle has been chosen for the S/S General.
The change of handle worked for me as the razor felt more agile and felt better in my relatively small hands.
The Shave again was extremely smooth and satisfyingly close all round. Feel sure that I am not alone
in thinking that whilst Shaving with these modern AC powered Razors gives good results,there is something special about getting a great Shave with Vintage SE Razors.

You are not alone re there being something special about getting a great shave with vintage SE razors, so much more satisfaction when using a vintage SE razor.

Pre: Lots of cold water
Brush: Semogue 1470
Soap: Tabac
Razor: British Ever Ready 1912
Blade: Gem Blue Star
Post: Even more cold water, Homemade Skinfood Balm Thingy
After yesterday's mediocre shave, I reached for my comfort blanket, (enter stage right), the Ever Faithful 1912.
Face, covered in a rich slick coating of Tabac, armed with my favourite razor (loaded with a shimmed carbon blade), what could go wrong?
Absolutely nothing.
I hope the rest of my Sunday is this good.
Happy Sunday everyone.

Sunday
Olive Oil Soap and Groomed Facial Scrub
3P Preshave Cream
RR Plague Doctor Soap
Zenith Boar
Ever-Ready (GB) 1912 with a GEM SS and shim(#10)
Home made Cyder Vinegar Toner
Rosewater and Glycerine Moisturiser
James Bronnley Gentlemens EDT
A nice relaxed Sunday morning Shave. I LOVE the scent of the Plague Doctor soap, and the Zenith Boar Brush is breaking in really well. I think that I will retire the blade today. Its working just fine....but pushing for more than 10 shaves with a blade is perhaps a little greedy and I don't want to ruin the experience! 3 pass BBS with absolutely no irritation and I am all set for Sunday Lunch at the Local

Morning shave.
Baxters of California Face Wash, BBA Shave Oil.
Haslinger Honig.
Maseto 30mm 2 Band Finest.
Little Wren Pottery.
Wolfman Guerilla (on loan).
Permasharp (2).
OSP Lemon and Cedarwood Aftershave Tonic.
BBA Post Shave Balm.
Third shave with the Woolfman. Another very comfortable, reasonably close shave. I have enjoyed using this razor, and it certainly is a lovely thing in the hand. But it's not a razor I will be adding to my wish list. On the other hand, Haslinger soaps are fantastic! Enjoy your Sunday gents.

Sunday 20/08/2017 AM Shave
Body Shave:
Omega Pro 49
Palmolive Sensitive shaving cream
Captains Choice large lather bowl
Wilkinson Sword Classic
Polsilver SI (3)
Benjamin's Mentholated Bay Rum.
Medicated Dusting Powder
Face shave:
Prep: Hot shower and Somerset Preshave oil
Omega pro 49
Palmolive Sensitive shaving cream
Parker 94r
Feather (3)
Benjamin's Mentholated Bay Rum.
Soap commander Vision Aftershave balm
Overall a nice simple and efficient close body and face shave this morning.
Omega Pro was commissioned for its coverage qualities! It never fails to whip up a creamy lather in no time.
Whilst taking a hot shower, a typical Body shave for me consists of an underarm, chest and groin shave (I do loads of cycling!) and the wilkinson sword classic Razor is my exclusive go to razor for this type of shave, good grip and lightweight control.
After said areas successfully dehaired , I'm all hydrated and ready to go! Benjamin's Mentholated used as a refreshing cooling body splash, after drying, medicated dusting powder applied to sooth and settle down nicley.
As for the 3 pass face shave, no errors to report with the Parker 94r, just great and effective.
