Tue 21st Aug Omega 11126 Speick Active soap King Cobra Schick Proline [ 3 ] Pitralon Original A/S Lotion My Third outing with the King Cobra and am feeling more confident moving it about. Had a trouble free Shave, but there is no doubt that this Razor is more aggressive than my other AC/SEs. The quality of finish is improving and no doubt my Shave Time will be reduced as I get more used to the Razor.

Williams Wednesday's ShaveCold Water Wash Williams Mug Shave Soap Jayaruh #312 Gillette unmentionable ( Fuzzy wuz here) Gillette unmentionable CWR Florida Water My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #312 brush. I did two passes with the Gillette Super Click Razor with a Gillette Super Thin blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thursday 23rd August Heno de Pravia glycerine soap pre-wash - Zenith 506 TS - Haslinger Honig - Rocnel SE-P OC - ½ Supermax Blue Diamond #1 - Alum - BigBoar’s No4 Bay Rum - Dove Instant Hydration Cream It's a pleasant coincidence that this planned shave includes TSR member BigBoar's legendary Bay Rum. And as Greg has made a welcome return to that forum after a lengthy break, I can again sing it's praises. It finished off a great shave with the unique Rocnel.

Thursday Razor:Clauss Blade: Gem CS (1) Brush: Rubberset 3 Soap: Haslinger Rasierseife AS: Brut Took this Beast for a go. I think the Clauss is my most aggressive razor. Even more than my favorite razor. My ER 1909. It sings as much as any razor, more like burnt toast. Anyhow I have fantastically smooth shave with no irritation. This is the kind of shave that lasts 24 hours.

Thur 23rd Aug Omega 10005 boar Vitos Super Red ATT SE- G Gem S/S [ 1 ] Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion Today I used the ATT SE-G which has been in a drawer for 6 months. Basically though it is a V2 it does not work for me unless I shim it. I think that should be unnecessary in such an expensive item so was rather disenchanted with this Razor. I think others feel the same way as the Razor does not seem to appear in any Forums that I view. What changed my mind ? A fellow Shaver Paul@Blademonkey had the same predicament and altered the base plate, by reducing the width and depth of the blade guard. He then found it shaved very nicely for him. He very kindly has sent me the modded base plate to try in my Razor. As soon as it arrived I fitted it into my Razor with a fresh blade, which was definitely closer the edge of the guard. As a trial I had a dry run on my cheek and now there was obvious blade feel, so really looked forward to the Shave. With a great Vitos lather I started the Shave, really nice blade feel made it obvious the the Razor was doing its job. I continued the Shave which was smooth and comfortable in all areas , though I did not push for an ultra close finish on what was really a first outing, I was pleased with the quality of finish. As the Shave was completed without mishap or post shave problems, I shall use it tomorrow. Looks like Paul has with his work managed to save the ATT SE-G from being a pretty paper weight. He has kindly offered to alter my base plate if I am happy with what he has done, judging by todays outing I will take him up on that.

Schick E3 razor Personna blade WD Silver Tip brush VeraSoapCo Peppermint SS Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Pinaud Clubman A/S
Great shave to end the week with. The WD Silver Tip is so soft but still able to produce great lather. I should use it more often. Love the VeraSoapCo SS also, it matches anything I've tried to date. My face is happy so go enjoy your day folks.

Pre: Cold water face wash Brush: Omega 20102 Boar Soap: Wickhams Ninfeo di Egeria (sample) Razor: Blackland Sabre L2 Blade: Pal Super CS Post: Cold water rinse, Pitralon Classic ASLAnother soap sample and another one I won't be buying. It has the usual very good Wickhams performance but the scent is a bit heavy and cloying imo. Happy Shaving one and all.
