Monday


Razor: Gillette Milord
Blade: 7 O'Clock SharpEdge (4th use)
Cream: Fraser's Original
Brush: Omega 640652 Synthetic
Toner: Thayer's Peach WH
A/S: Pinaud Clubman, Nivea Post-Shave Balm

I think this may be the first "bad" SharpEdge I've used, it has been a rough shave from the beginning and I stuck it out for 4 shaves, and it never improved. Oh well, I quess every blade is bound to have a dud once in a while?
Peace,

Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Merkur Progress XL
Blade: Treet Platinum
Brush: Simpson Colonel X2L
Soap: Valobra Soft Soap (almond)
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Proraso ASB

A fine shave, indeed, with my first use of a Treet Platinum. This could be another blade to add to my favorites list. The Valobra performed in excellent fashion, and the Proraso balm was a great way to top off the shave. My face feels relaxed and refreshed.
