3 passes, bbs. The Clubman a/s lotion was a nice surprise. I was expecting just another lotion or balm, but once applied to the face it has a nice cooling effect. The fragrance isn't bad, although it cannot compare to Bay Rum (imho), but still I will use this one again.
Afternoon shave today - We are having guests over for dinner.
- Long, hot shower with cleanising gel face soap from L'oreal.
- D R Harris Marlborough shaving soap
- Noname (might be badger) brush
- Gillette Aristocrat
- Personna blade (white pack)
- Old Spice classic A/S
Today's wasn't as good, tried my Merkur 33c today, just doesn't work as well as the Fatboy. A little too aggressive, guess it'll be hitting the sale block soon.
hot bath
olive oil shampoo (softens whiskers nicely)
Ogallala Bay Rum pre-shave - same as the a/s but can also be use as p/s

I decided that I hadn't been getting warm enough lather, so I employed a vintage percolator coffee pot (electric) that's been laying aroundthe house so I would have plenty of hot water whenever I need it. It really worked out nicely.
be careful you dont fry your badger with that coffee pot water.......go easy, man!

Got myself a merkur slant bar razor and some Col.Conk amber soap.This is one sharp tool!This is the first time I've tried a badger brush after using a cheap one.It has a lovely green onyx handle.The cheap one lost bristles to my face each time it was used.I love the difference in price between these blades and the cartridges.
