Monday morning:
Chicman Stick
Rooney Silvertip
Puma 6/8
Speick AS
Chanel Bleu EdT
Old soap with a young heart. The scent is a bit musty. Lubrication (Lubraciousness) is remarkable!
The EdT is first class mainstream. So what?
Have a nice day!

This morning's stubble mowing tools...
Pre : Hot water
Soap : Mitchells Wool fat
Brush : Progress Vulfix 404
Razor : Merkur 15C
Blade : Feather
Post : Cold water, alum block, Nivea balm
Finish : Smooth as the proverbial babys a*se.
Comments :
The MWF lather has been cracked; I now get loads of the stuff, even with hard water... all good. No pressure used with the Feather blade. The alum block wasn't working again, no sting at all. All in all, this is a setup I'm not afraid of using again.
Don't forget though, good lubricity can only be achieved with the application of copious amounts of Guinness.

Had a quick smooth day shave with all the right elements. Great Razor, Fantastic suds, and of course a steady hand.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Shavemac D01 30 mm
Razor: H. Diamond, TOWA
Soap: MWF
AS: Stratos
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
I'm very happy to have obtained this razor (been wanting a H. Diamond for a long time) and it didn't disappoint. I think it was the fastest bevel setting I've ever done (and it took an excellent bevel too). Cheers Seth! Now it would be nice if I could be well too, this cold of mine seems to be determent to take the best of me (day 5 with high fever
).
