SOTD 11/3/16

Hot Towel, Phoenix & Beau Sanskrit, Body Shop Synthetic, Mongoose B3 Satin, Kai Captain (4), Cold Towel, Old Spice.

Final shave with the Mongoose was had this morning, I'll be sad to send it back to @globalm, but I am sure he'll enjoy having it back, it's a magnificent razor. Sanskrit performed as brilliantly as normal, that is to say without flaw. Today I finished off the shave with Old Spice aftershave because it matches with the scent of Sanskrit perfectly.

Prep: Quick rub down with a damp flannel
Bowl: £1 china 'nibbles' bowl
Brush: Nasty Wilkinson Sword bristle (determined to get my money's worth!)
Cream: Proraso 'white tube'
Razor: The ever faithful EJ DE89
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge yellow
Post: Cold water splash

Bit of a misfire at the start of this shave ... Didn't realise how concentrated the Proraso was, so ended up with a bowl full of really stiff, gloopy lather that the razor couldn't get through and clogged instantly. Thinned it down, all good. Faint scent of 'something' vaguely familiar but not perfumed as such. Fairly quick, and very easy, 2 and a half pass shave (just needed some ATG on my tricky areas), zero injuries as usual. The Yellow blade worked nicely, they seem to work better in milder razors. Very nearly a BBS, but noticed a few odd whiskers after I'd cleaned up, so demoted to a DFS+ :)

That wilkinson sword brush thing, I have one, but it don't get near my face, like you I get my money's worth but I use it to clean the bathroom sink with.

I like the sound of the soap, is it a faithful grape soda scent @Kevy?
 
Friday morning:

Xpec
Semogue 2012 SE
Gem Clog Pruf
Gem blade
Alum
Pinaud Clubman
Nivea Creme

I'd shaved with Noxzema canned foam yesterday and while the shave was okay, this morning's scrape was way better. Easy BBS!
 
friday 11/03/16: hot shower/mergress xl/feather (5)/simpson m7 gyle/harris windsor/hot&cold rinse/nivea asb/guerlain l'instant

the feather remains sharper than most but was past its best at the end of day 4… the mergress dialled up to 4.5 is sublime
