Wednesday
Moss scuttle
Homemade frankincense & myrrh preshave oil
Somerset Simpson Eagle 3 Pure brush
House of Croydon shaving soap
iKon Modern Bulldog razor
Gillette Platinum Plus blade (3)
Floris No. 89 aftershave balm
Another DFS. The blades works really well in the iKon, making me rethink whether I really want to sell them.

Weds, Dec 13
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap/Creme: Cella
Razor:Gem 1912
Blade: Whatever it is that they Sell at Walgreens
Pre: hot towel
Post: alum plus witch hazel
Hair Groom: Jeris w/ oil
Result: It has been a while since I pulled out my SE razor, but I got one of the closest shaves I've ever had with it. The downside is that the combination of being a bit out of practice with it and my having had a rougher than usual shave yesterday meant that, while it was BBS, it also has left me a bit raw, hence the alum block and witch hazel, instead of my currently preferred lilac vegetal splashes. Still, it was amazingly close shave, and nothing is quite like the sound a 1912 makes when it mows down whiskers.
