Overslept...

Palmolive Classic
Merkur HD 34G
Wilkinson Sword
Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet Aftershave Balm

Used the Palmolive brushless. Not the best of shaves, but no irritation. Should have gone with my MWF shave stick.

Good morning everyone!

Merkur HD
Kent BK4
Musgo Real SC
D.R. Harris Pink

Acqua di Parma

Really great shave, although my neck took a little beating. But that's because one can really cut close to the skin when using Musgo Real. Don't know why I haven't used it for so long. The smell is fantastic, the lather is very rich... definitely something for more experienced smf members. Newbies could cut themselves very easily when using the royal shaving cream.

Have a nice week everyone!

Monday, Monday (don't shoot the messenger)

Musgo Real Glyce Lime Soap face wash
Merkur 34c
Super Iridium
Semogue 1305
Started with Lavanda, finished with KMF unscented
Alum rub and TGQ A/S

I am having no joy with the "found in Jersey warehouse" Lavanda shave cream. After what seemed like an eternity, I finally got some semblance of decent lather but once applied to the face, I had second thoughts. So I rinsed it off, the brush as well, ran some KMF across my face with fingertips, swirled the brush a few times, BAM ! mucho lather.
Go figure. Look for this tube of Lavanda coming to a B/S/T near you.

Shower with some hippy brand Rose soap – Very nice indeed, I can’t remember the brand but and I’ve tossed the wrapper. I’ll check next time I am at the natural store.
