Sunday xxii September, 2013
Prep: Shower, Arran Aromatics Peppermint & Eucalyptus glycerin soap
Pre: Cold water splash
Brush: Thäter 4125/2
Soap: Ogallala Bay Rum, Limes & Peppercorns shave stick
Razor: Digress HD
Blade: Crown Super Stainless
Post: Osma Alum, Thayer's Medicated WH, Institut Karité ASB
Fragrance: Myrsol Agua di Limon
Result: Controversial it may be, but the Crown is swiftly becoming my favourite blade. Seems to work like a dream in the Digress. One the negative side I am struggling with the Ogallala.. just can't get the soap / water ratio right. It seems either to be too wet or too dry.

Prep: Shower, Nivea Q10 Facial Wash
Pre: Cold water splash
Brush: Thäter 4125/2
Cream: Proraso Red (tube)
Razor: Digress HD
Blade: Crown Super Stainless #2
Post: Osma Alum, Ogallala Scented witch hazel, Arran Aromatics Bay Citrus ASB
Result: About as good as it gets this morning. I used the alum to see how much sting I got, but virtually none and face as smooth as you like. Not a bad start to my birthday week.
All the best, Gents..
