Pre shave - Arko
Razor - Muhle '11 R41
Blade - 7o'clock (yellows)
Brush - G.O.S.H Heritage
Soap - Truefitt + Hill Luxury S/S
A/S - Boots Witch Hazel gel followed by Tabac A/S lotion

HORRIBLE!! now I remember why the T+H was shoved to the back of the draw!! I will have to try the 'yellow' again using a soap I can trust.... the 'yellow' felt rough on my skin, I achieved BBS but at a price... it was in a Muhle '11 R41 after all. So the T+H will now be used for shaving me noggin, and the 'yellow' will get another shot using one of the tallows... :(

Sunday, July 22, 2012

Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Tradere OC
Blade: Gillette Super Thin
Brush: Omega 31025 "Scarlatti" Boar
Soap or Cream: Mitchell’s Wool Fat Soap
A/S: Dickinson’s Witch Hazel, Taylor’s Mr. Taylor Splash

A very fine shave–the sixth one on the blade, but just as smooth and nice as shave #1 with this blade and razor combo. Of course, the MWF and the Omega boar brush deserve a lot of the credit, too, for working so well together. My face feels great and the Mr. Taylor provided a refreshing finish.
