First use of the Charcoal Goods, Level 2 Stinger. Visually stunning and beautiful to behold. Very smooth and efficient shaver with hefty weight to ensure effortless passes. Lovely aquatic scent and great post shave feel from the "Shore" soap sample.

Sun 8th July

Omega 11137
Lea Classic Soap
Schick Type F
Schick S/S Single - Japan [ 12 ]
Lea Classic A/S Lotion

No rush to get out this morning, have been up for ages though. Plenty of time for a leisurely Shave so chose the Type F,which does not like being rushed. It is so satisfying to wield and by not rushing it is quite easy to get a really close
all round finish, without any likelihood of mishap.

Hi Chris,
I'm good, thanks for asking. I hope you're well too?

The shaves are much improved. I use a lot less pressure and ride more towards the safety bar instead of the top cap. This has removed or at the very least improved drag at lot. I also no longer have tenderness or roughness.

The razor has forced me to improve my technique.
It's taken some time but I'm glad I stuck with it. The shaves have an added satisfaction know where I started from and the results I'm now getting.

Cheers
Rob

Cheers, sounds good; DE shaving so simple - yet so complex and rewarding at the same time!

All good - had a great holiday, but at the same time glad to be back.

All the best,

Chris

Morning shave

Olive Oil Soap
Proraso Green Shaving Cream
Semogue 1305
Little Wren Pottery
Muhle r41
Astra SP (2)
Thayers Witch Hazel (unscented)
Proraso Green Post-Shave Cream

I used Proraso almost exclusively for my first month of traditional shaving (until I discovered this forum and a thousand ways to spend my money) but it rarely sees the light these days. I'm not sure why really because I thoroughly enjoyed that. I find the scent oddly comforting. Enjoy the sunshine chaps.
 
Sunday 8th July



Pears Glycerine Soap
Proraso Green Tea and Oatmeal Preshave Cream
Semogue Caravela Badger/Boar Brush
Micromatic Clog Pruf with an unshimmed GEM SS blade
Wickham 1912 Parma Violet Soap
Alum Block, Rinse, Thayers Original with Cucumber
Aloe Vera Gel
Lanman & Murray Florida Water
Bronnley Lavander EDT

Thank goodness for Aloe Vera! A liberal application last night ensured that the effects of yesterday's sun were minimised and my face no longer felt (as they would say in N Ireland)....like a 'skelpt arse'.

This was a cold shave....and it felt wonderful.
Three passes and a little touch up for an excellent BBS result:)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
