Razor: Merkur Futur on 1.5
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge
Brush: Shavemac
Pre-Shave: Kell's Original Unscented Pre-shave
Soap: Tabac
A/S: TOBS Mr. Taylor
Today I went with the adage that less is more and dialed my Futur down to 1.5. The Futur delivered an irritation free BBS shave and the Mr. Taylor was a fine finish.

Hey Nick Freeh - welcome to the board. Nice shave set up you got there. I have the same EJ Chatsworth and it's one of my favorites...Nick Freeh wrote:

Razor: Edwin Jagger Chatsworth
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (Shave #4)
Cream: Proraso green

I tend to think of Proraso as a warm weather cream, but it’s great anytime!

I have used the same set-up other than cologne for the last fortnight, and I'm as shocked as anyone.

Monday Morning:
Hot Shower/Hot Towel
Type L Schick Injector
NOS Injector Blade (USA) (Shave #1)
Kent/Altesse Pure Badger
Proraso Red SC
NOS Shulton Old Spice A/S
TSD AS Milk
I wanted to go with something that performed well but was still fairly gentle on my face (still had some irriation left over from Saturday) so I pulled out my trusty Injector this morning and all was well with world. Great results all around from everything. The Proraso Red lathered beautifully and provided great cushion. I used two NOS products today (NOS = New Old Stock.) The MADE IN THE USA Injector blade did a tremendous job and the classic Shulton formula Old Spice was a terrific finish although it burned like the fires of Hell after application. They must have used more alcohol in the old formula because the newer stuff never burned like that. Or perhaps it was the menthol from the Proraso that didn't mix well with the OS. Either way, the burning subsided with a little help from my TSD aftershave milk and I was good to go.
