Monday
As some of us agreed on another thread, in memory of Anita Roddick's recent passing, today was a total Body Shop experience for me.
Shower Body Shop Javari Hair and Body wash, Body Shop Seaweed deep-cleansing face wash.
Razor Gillette black-handled adjustable (pass 1 & 2 at 3, pass 3 at 4, blade buff at 2).
Blade Derby (5th shave on this blade - it gets changed tomorrow).
Brush My ole' faithful Vullfix OEM badger brush under The Rose and Co. Apothecary label
Cream The Body Shop - what else? Today I used my very last bit of cream in my tub - I have a small tube I use when I travel, but will be replacing the tub soon as I don't like to be without it.
Post-shave Em's Alum block, followed by Body Shop After-shave gel with Aloe and then by Body Shop Men/s Face Protector.
Overall a great experience. Thanks Anita for some great products.

The Merkur HD is a bit more aggressive than my Super Speed, and when loaded with a Feather it is a dangerous weapon.

I threw the Treets in the Super Adjustable today. I'm trying to find the right razor for these blades. Guess what? They did fine in this razor. Three very good shaves.
