---Wednesday---
Razor--Henkels.
Strops--SRD Premium 1 and Illinois 6454.
Soap--4 soap concoction. Williams Mug, Conk's amber, Porter's, and Watkins.
Brush--Semogue 830 boar.
Aftershave--Alum block, Dickinson's witch hazel, and a generous splash of Aqua-Velva Musk.
Result--4 pass bbs. This soap concoction is VERY slick but the scent is not for the faint of heart. I would put it about two clicks above stagnant swamp gas. It will make me better appreciate my next shave with Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet. You gents have a great evening. Look sharp and smell nice for the ladies.

Stunning razor...and photography.

Yesterday I've bought 3 Wilkinson Sword shave sticks european version from a local chemist store in London for £1.25 each and 1 plastic round tub 250ml size with a screw lid for 40p, I've grated all three sticks into a tub ready for shaving this is a tallow & coconut oil with glycerine and lanolin which smell very classic type scent for a light blue colour soap. The Wilkinson Sword shaving soap is not too bad for some reason it seem to dry out my skin pretty quick against Palmolive Classic shave stick (strange), the lather is very slick, cushy and it doesn't soak up a lot of water which is perfect.................Chow!!
