Sunday

Schick Injector type 'M'
Simpson's Best Badger Special
Penhaligon's English Fern Shaving Soap
Nivea asb
Davidoff Cool Water

I used the Injector because I wanted to, not because I found a horses head in my bed this morning.

Good Sunday morning all...

Edwin Jagger Chatsworth w/ Gillette yellow
Omega boar
MWF ss
Thayers original WH w/ aloe
Musgo Real asb
Knize Ten edt

I am very impressed with the Chatsworth, it feels good in my hand, has significant heft and the Muhle head is just right for me on the aggressiveness continuum, the MWF leaves my face (and head) feeling great.

Sunday shave:

EJ Chatsworth with Derby
Rooney 3/2 super silver badger
TABAC shave soap
Aqua Velva aftershave
Geo. F. Trumper's Sandalwood cologne

... didn't shave yesterday. I should skip a day more often - just for the shear joy of being able to shave off that extra day's worth of beard.

Saturday am:

Rooney Alibaba brush
Wars shave cream
Lord Click razor
Lord Big Ben Purple box blade
Bourbon Parfums aftershave
Lorenzo Villerosi Sandalo cologne

Shaved at the office early Saturday morning and since I had to work and meet clients figured may as well smell good. I like the Sandalo's sharp, dry sandalwood scent but it stays with me two days so I don't use it as much as I would because I like to mix stuff up.

Saturday pm:

EJ Silvertip brush
Old Spice Lime shaving cream
Futur razor
Russian Perma Sharp blade
Bourbon Parfums aftershave
no cologne because Sandalo is still present

The Perma Sharp is a slightly better than average blade in the right razor but I think in the future I will only use it in the Gillette Super Adjustable because it works its best in that razor, set at three.

Sunday am:

Concord brush
Wars shaving cream
Lord Click/Gillette Super adjustable razors
Tiger blade
Bourbon Parfums aftershave
no cologne, Sandalo is still present

Another morning shave at the office. The Tiger blade wasn't working up to snuff in the mild Click razor so I shifted to the Gillette set on three and things improved noticeably.

Sunday pm:

Edwin Jagger Georgian Silvertip brush
Old Spice Lime shaving cream
Gillette Super adjustable razor, set on three
Russian Perma Sharp blade
Bourbon Parfums aftershave

This blade works best in this razor. No cologne as the Sandalo is still hanging around. Very pleasant scent but very long lasting. Sometimes you just want to pay the tab and end the date.

Sunday:

Super Adjustable, O-4, set at 3,4
Treet Classic carbon blade, 1st shave
Old Spice sensitive in the can
Thayers Lemon
Body Shop Razor Relief

Sunday is normally a day of face rest for me, but today there was a friend's four-year-old nephew's birthday party to go to.

A two-pass shave, good enough to get through the day. Yesterday I did a 6th shave on an NOS Wilkinson UK blade with "Super Sword Edge," whatever that is. I was thinking of going for a seventh shave with it today, but yesterday the 6th shave was pushing it, thus the new blade. The Treet Classic is not quite as smooth as the NOS Wilkinson UK, but smooth enough.
