Prep:
C&E Sienna shave cream
C&E Best Badger brush

Razors:
Face: Feist 6/8
Head: Dovo Bergischer Lowe

Post:
Face: C&E Sienna aftershave balm
Head: Body Shop moisturising cream

C&E Sienna smells great
The Feist is an excellent razor
First time I've used the Dovo on my head - worked well
Excellent shave all round

James.

Finally managed to get a shave in...

several days' worth of stubble
Matt custom ivory super silvertip
prep - Trumper's Violet lather (not warm / long enough )
shave - Trumper's Rose cream
6/8 Genco Master Barber (ambitious name, eh)
13/16 RW custom
Dr. Moss Scuttle (large)
Trumper's alum
Lanvin Aprege ASB

Less than optimal prep = even RW pulled (and it was velvet before). The Master Barber needs some sharpness.

Nevertheless - good shave, no cuts / irritation

Cheers
Ivo
