Schick G8
Schick Proline [ 1 ]
Tuff Green A/S Lotion
Used the G8 today, which is not a favourite as I have personally found it to be a harsh Shaver . As a change I thought to try it out with the Schick Proline.
Though I found that the Shave seemed less harsh, it was not as smooth as other Razors also using the same blade. To be honest the Shave finish was not as good as the ones I get with other Razors. It seems a Shame as the G8 feels good in the hand and is quite agile, but for whatever reason does not
cope too well with my beard.

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Anbbas Boar
Cream: Arko
Razor: ER 1924
Blade: Gem SS
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, LaToja Balsamo
I'm not a big fan of Arko soap, can't get past the smell, but find the cream to be pretty good.
The shimmed 1924 was in its element and went about its business with vigour and aplomb.
The LaToja was the finishing touch to a very good shave, leaving my skin smooth and feeling grand.

Thanks. Much appreciated!
The DE89 is a great allrounder. Perhaps the Ian Botham of the traditional shaving world. Personally, I find it a bit more aggressive than my favourite DE razor the brilliant Merkur 34C, but YMMV. I love the little Simpson brush as it has a nice amount of backbone but still soft.

Blade: Astra SP #1
Razor: Gillette slim Aristocrat L4
Brush: Saponificio Varesino 2.0 Rosewood
Bowl: Saponificio Varesino The Grail
Soap: WSP Sandalwood.
Post: Alum & BBA PSB
EDT: Joop
A wonderful shave using the super efficient (soap smudged) Slim Adjustable set at #7 throughout my 3 pass shave.
The brush is truly amazing. Superb flow through cloud soft tips and credible backbone.
WSP is an American artisan soap that I find lacks a little cushion but makes up for it with its slickness and post shave feel.
Enjoy your shaves!
