Minty good time!
Awesome shave tonight!
Hot shower, Baxters scrub, conditioner on my face
Merkur Futur
Treet platinum blade
Moss scuttle
Edwin Jagger best badger medium
Salter Fresh Mint cream (fantastic stuff!)

This was an exceptional shave tonight. I really liked the Salter Fresh Mint cream and the treet platinum blades are sharp and smooth.

Saturday's Shave
Saturday
Razor: Merkur Slant Bar HD
Blade: Derby Extra Day #3
Brush: Savile Row #241 (Vulfix #41)
Soap/Cream: Proraso (green) Cream
A/S: Musgo Real A/S Balsam
Again a 2 pass shave and even better than yesterday. I did one N-S, then another S-N. I did include a few key E-W & W-E strokes over key areas of my face--mostly my jawline--and I must adimt I got a wonderful shave.
This was using one of my Merkur Slant razors. It will be interesting to see if the results will be the same using my other razors. I think it will.

Kent BK4
Mitchell's Wool Fat soap
Merkur HD
Israeli no-name blade (#1)
D.R. Harris Pink After Shave
After taking yesterday off to reflect on Thursday's experience (see previous SOTD), I'm back in the saddle again. This is my favourite gentle shave, but was it ever a close one! I don't think my face will ever be feeling a GEM razor again. I don't blame the razor, I blame my technique. I just don't think it's worth trying to get it right when I can get such awesome shaves with a DE.
