Thursday

Moss scuttle
Homemade frankincense & myrrh preshave oil
Somerset Simpson Keyhole 1 Best brush
Martin de Candre soap
iKon Modern Bulldog razor
Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow blade (3)
Ralph Lauren Safari aftershave balm

Other than a few nicks, which I always seem to get with the 7 O'Clock Yellows, a great shave. This was my first time using the MdC soap, and I have to say that it lathered beautifully, and I even like the scent.

Thursday Night:

iKon Bulldog razor with safety bars
Treet Dura Sharp blade

Semogue 2015 Silvertip brush
Edwin Jagger Sea Buckthorn soap

Lather made in a bowl, as always.

Dickinson's Witch Hazel, blended with a bit of lather and massaged into the skin.


My first experience with this soap was very positive. Very creamy lather with great glide/lubricity (which is the quality I most seek in a lather). I have now grated this soap up and compressed it into a wider one-cup Pyrex dish, which should make loading the brush easier for future shaves.

Fri, Dec 30
Brush: vie-long horse
Soap/Creme: MWF
Razor: Racer
Blade: Red IP
Pre: Shower and glycerin soap
Post: Witch Hazel
Hair Groom: Gables creme-oil
Result: The horse did pretty well with the MWF, and the shave was decent, but the racer did a lot better when I used an Astra in it a week ago than the red IP today.

no shave today!
