Greetings
Tuesday 30th April 2013
Prep: Shower
Razor: GEM Micromatic OC
Blade: GEM Stainless Coated
Brush: Semogue OC Boar
Soap: Cella (soap of the week)
Aftershave: Astral Cream (light)
Ultra close shave from the OCMM as always. The Cella is part of my usual rotation and I like it a lot, I will however not replace it when it runs out as there are many other soaps I like more and I already have too many.
Regards
Dick.

Gold Adjustable (Futur Copy)
Gillette Super Thin
Frank Shaving Finest Chubby
Proraso Sandalwood Shave Soap
Dove Post Shave Balm
Booster Oriental Spice After Shave
Futur knock off from China. I bought it in the US @ shaveabuck. Shaves exactly like a Futur and the quality is fantastic. I understand but can't confirm it that the handle is brass with electroplate gold as a coating.

Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso pre-shave
Soap: Cella (soap of the week)
Brush: Muhle 'HJM' Synthetic
Bowl: Steve Woodhead Pedestal #2
Razor: Merkur Progress @2.5
Blade: Rapira Stainless (1)
After: Alum, Superdrug Forest Fresh AS, Coral Skin Food, L'Occitane Cade ASB
Second day of Cella.
Used my new synthetic brush and was really surprised at how well it performed with the soap. It'd say it outperformed the badger from yesterday. Must be something to do with Cella's characteristics.
Rapira blade is definitely a step up from yesterday's Tiger blade.
Excellent results.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Omega 10065
Cream: TOBs Rose- face lathered
Razor: EJ89 Barley
Blade: Polsilver #2 with shim
Post: Alum, Witch Hazel, Sierran Breeze ASL, Astral.
Very nice shave, these Polsilvers are excellent, I'm definitely wanting to acquire some more of them. Bit of a rush today, resulted in a little weeper on the chin, but other than that, excellent. One pass, no touch ups due to time, but a lovely smooth shave. Loving the face lathering now, thanks to Martin for the poll as it made me consider giving it a go and now I love it! Also helped keep the rose scent up me nose a bit longer.

Omega 10005 Boar brush
Passaround R41 with Gillette Green 7 o'clock (2)
Progress with Gillette Green 7 o'clock (2) (different blade to above)
Cella (soap of the week)
Witch Hazel
Lime Skin Food
Blue Stratos AS
Definitely don't use a blade twice in the R41, switched to the Progress halfway through pass 2.
Cella definitely lathered better in the bowl rather than face.
