Thur 10th Sept.
Omega 11137
Vitos Red Soap
Gem 1912 Damaskeene
Gem S/S [ 2 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse
La Toja A/S Lotion

Teamed up with a modern blade [ no shims] the Damaskeene is extremely mild, feels impossible to cut oneself. That said although mild.it is possible to have a 3 pass shave with ease, and polish up the difficult areas to get a quality shave.
Time permitting will have a second go with the Original Damaskeene on Friday. Hopefully will be smoother than the first one !

Hot towel for a minute
Cryogen
FS 38mm Silvertip Chubby ( I eventually got rid of the funk after about 10 lathers over the last month)
Hoffritz Slant
Polsilver
Penhaligons Bayolea

I'm good to go - but I'm not going - I'm stuck at my dining table doing work on the ROHS and REACH Regulations

I sort of knew this wasn't going to go very well from the off,normally I leave the barbed wire to grow a bit longer,and shave after a hot shower,but today,I just had a bad urge to shave it off with about 48hrs growth.It did not go well on the neck at all,tugging and catching all over the place,neck ended up looking like a banned scene from Friday the 13th Part XVIII,and I nigh on screamed when I splashed a healthy dose of Tabac AS on it.....
Not good...Not good at all!.

Three Pass Shaving Routine....:p

Hot Water prep & massage with Coconut Oil
Marque CSF French Hoe SE
Gem Stainless (Modified) Se Blade (New)
Semogue Boar Brush
Palmolive Shaving Cream (added Aragn oil)
Organic Aloe Vera Gel
LOGONA Man Aftershave Balm (From Germany)

I achieved a most perfect BBS result with this lovely French Marque CSF Hoe ....I would honestly equate this French Hoe to a Schick F Type Injector...This razor is quite aggressive, but ever so smooth and forgiving....I have three French Hoes and they shave as efficiently as any injector for sure....I utilize a full Gem spine behind the blade to replicate the intended shaving angle of the original wedge blade....I can only say get one of these as you wont regret it.....:p

French Hoes are the Dogs Danglies....::D
