Sun:

Rooney small style 1 brush
Gold Dachs Spezial soap
hand american strop
8/8 Wade & Butcher frameback
TOBS bay rum A/S

Got such a good shave yesterday I did it again today.

kent brush
trumpers coconut oil shaving cream
trumpers skin food
dovo straight
hot towels
nivea extra soothing balm
E45 moisturiser

About my 10th shave and it just gets better and better! I think the coconut oil shave cream is easier on the sensitive skinned guys than the limes. 3 pass shave with a little buffing at the end, just to get super close. The mach 3 is definately outta here! I even donated the blades to my girlfriend!

Hot Shower
Steaming Hot Towel
Proraso Pre-Shave Cream
Simpson T4 Super Badger Brush
French Horn 5 inch Shaving Dish
Musgo Real Shaving Cream
Feather Artist Club DX SS Razor
Merkur Futur DE with Feather Blade
Musgo Real After Shave Gel
Musgo Real After Shave

Greatest shave EVER! No Nicks, Cuts, Weepers, NOTHING, Perfect!!!

3 days' growth
Trumper's Limes Skin Food
Trumper's Rose shaving soap (first time ever with a soap for me)
Kent T4 badger
5/8 Robeson Shuredge
AoS Unscented After Shave Balm

A good, glowing shave, even with that ingrown hair bump that is slowly going...

First time I've ever used a soap. Wasn't bad and not as drying as I expected, although I was rushing a little. Will try a few more shaves when I can, before I make a decision on what I like better: soap or cream .

Mon:

Rooney small style 1 brush
Gold Dachs Spezial soap
Hand American strop
5/8 Craftsman spike
Harris face milk

p*ss p**r excuse for a shave. gack. I honed nearly 1/8 off this razor trying to get to good steel, and as this morning's shave indicates, I still haven't made it.

7/8 Friodur
Simpson Rover pure badger
Arko shave stick
Alum
Musgo Real A/S splash
C&E Sienna ASB

I've had the Arko for ages and decided to give it a go with a straight - not bad at all. Great for a quick shave - so long as you don't mind the fairly industrial smell of the Arko - amazing when you consider that this stuff is cheap as dirt.

Isn't an industrial smell exactly what one would expect from a cheap cream? It worked for Palmolive after all...
