Monday 22st October 2012 Prep: Shower Razor: Schick Type E(3) Blade: Personna Stainless Coated Brush: Vulfix 404 Mixed Soap: Tabac Aftershave: Nivea Sensitive Balm
Same shave as yesterday other than a different brush, same superb result. I've got to grips with this little razor now and it is a wonderful shaver.
Regards Dick.

Lathered with Clearly Nateral Glycerine/Williams combo Old VDH Boar Beater Brush EverReady Streamline with Gem PTFE (6) on board Pinuad Clubman Aftershave
My Simpson's is nice but I was missing using beat up brushes I don't care about.Started with Glycerine soap and unexpectedly decided to also load up some Williams right with it.Definitely good synergy between those two.
I've learned to ease up and lighten my touch considerably with the Streamline and getting some outstanding results.
Great Shave

- Prep: Hot Shower and Hot Towel
- Brush: Knotty Roddy Refurb with TGN Grade A Silvertip Knot
- Cream: T&H 1805
- Razor: '48 Eversharp-Shick G1 Injector
- Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated Injector (shave 3)
- A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & AV ASB
- EDT: Royalle Musk EDT
- Result: Fine confortable BBS shave with nary a nick or weeper. I really love this G1. I could almost get rid of every other razor I own and use this one exclusively. But if I did that then I would not be able to get the great shaves I get from my other SEs.

Very nice shave. I love the combination of the Arko and the Turkish Lemon Cologne. They seem to go together.

Wednesday 24th October 2012 Prep: Shower Razor: PAL Injectomatic Blade: Personna Stainless Coated Brush: Lijun Boar Soap: Boots stick grated into a container Aftershave: RSC Balm
A less than perfect shave. I have not been a great fan of the Boots shave stick in the past on the grounds that on a couple of occasions it has proved tricky to lather, today after the second pass and more so during the third my face started to tingle/smart.
There appears to be something in this soap which does not agree with my skin; as a result it now resides in the kitchen bin! This is the only shave soap or cream that I have tried to date that has caused me any problem.
Regards Dick.

Gem Cutlery Damaskeene Gem SS/PFTE Blade (11) Made-Rite 500PB Brush KMF Cool Mint Cream Pinaud Clubman AS
I was rushed for time this morning and was only able to manage a one pass shave with touch-up. Nevertheless, it was an excellent shave.

Thursday 25th October 2012 Prep: Shower Razor: GEM OCMM Blade: GEM Stainless Coated Brush: Vulfix 406 Boar Soap: Palmolive and Palmolive Cream + Glycerine Aftershave: Dove Sensitive Balm
A complete change of pace after a week shaving with injectors. A really superb shave with the OCMM about as close as it's possible to get and leave the skin!
Regards Dick

Thursday 10/25
Razor: Ever Ready 1914 Blade: GEM Stainless (1) Brush: TGN synthetic Lather: Godrej Lime Post: Styptic, Alum, Lucido, Clarins Soother
Results: Almost the same setup as yesterday, but with bloodier results. Very close shave with a couple of minor nicks. Styptic to the rescue.
