PreShave: Warm to hot water, most from the boiled kettle some from the tap
Cream: Floris
Brush: Kent BK8
Bowl: My recycled T&H cream bowl
Razor: My new Merkur Futur on 2
Blade Astra sp (2)
Post Shave: Alum

Fragrance: Floris 89

Another brilliant shave the new toy, though dialed a little bit down to 2. Frankly I spent all yesterday in amazement about how good the shave was. I had a very smooth face until I went to bed, hence the dialing it down this morning. Again a three-pass, BBS smooth shave. I really like the Futur, even my usually cynical wife has noticed the smooth face.

In any event, have a good week folks (or at least as good as possible, given the circumstances). But more important: stay healthy.

In my early days with this Razor, I managed to get the blade loaded incorrectly and misaligned after rinsing, so have had some poor Shaves. Coupled with my difficulty in getting the Shave angle right, it has taken me some time to get to grips with the Enoch. I have now had much better Shaves with it using a guarded blade, though Shave time seems rather on the long side.Today I decided to try out the Feather Pro, a good move as Shavetime greatly reduced as the combo was smooth and efficient and resulted in a rather Close All Round finish even around the neck.

My first use of the Brush, which is not at all floppy and worked very well with the Vitos and is Super Soft on the face, earlier RazoRocks are a bit scratchy in comparison.
