Monday evening
Hot water prep
Palmera SE razor with original Palmera nr.5 hollow ground blade set with the adjustment screws to maximum exposure - Acca Kappa 1869 cream - generic silvertip brush - cold water splash - Acca Kappa 1869 balm - hot towel - Accal Kappa 1869 EdT

The blade got another small touch up on the coticule and is really nearly there. Still a very slight tug on the upper lip. Other than that, a very nice and relaxing shave with Miles in the background. I like the Acca Kappa 1869 scent so much, that I bought the full bottle this time. Hope your Monday was as good as mine.

I must say I’m mightily pissed off I can’t do any climbing or weights workouts this week. Bugger!

Ta, feeling better already after a sleep in, and the redness has gone already.

Yeah, Faulding 'Shave' cream is quite dryish. It's not really good enough by itself to use with a straight, though for the price it's not THAT bad. It's quite nice mixed with a soap in an Überlather with a drop of glycerine (I said glycerine, not Vaseline). I like it mixed with Edwin and Jagger Sea Buckthorn...

There has been a lot of posts regarding Whipped dog lately. Some praising, some not so good. I thought I would use the razor I purchased from them tonight. Like every other time for the last year I have used it, got a great shave.
