Friday afternoon
Cyril R. Salter Tallow
EJ Best Badger
Steve Woodhead Ceramics Bowl
Gillette Aristocrat 1947
Gillette 7 o' Clock Yellow
Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Speick After Shave
Despite being a dedicated face latherer, I thought I'd dust off my shaving bowl for a use (been tidying out the den, you see). The EJ hasn't been used for a while too. It certainly lacks the backbone of my boars and my preferred synths. However, it did work very well in the bowl; with a drop or two of water bringing out a rich, slick lather. I'd use this brush for face painting, rather than face lathering.
The two stars of the show were the soap and the Aristocrat. I can't believe the quality of Salter's soap for the price. Great stuff, with a fine performance and post-shave feel.
The Aristocrat was a rare find a couple of years ago. Advertised as a Fat Boy on the bay, I bid £10 for it. My one and only win on EBay. It is a cracking razor and its only cosmetic fault, apart from a bit brassing, is a missing end cap; which in no way detracts from the quality of the shave.
