Saturday 15th December 2012 Prep: Shower Razor: GEM Contour Blade: GEM Stainless Coated Brush: Turkish No. 6 Soap: Tweex squeezed into a container Aftershave: Dove Sensitive Balm
A very close but gentle shave with the Contour, this was the second use of the GEM blade, which I feel is the very best shave from these blades, that little bit of harshness is gone and they feel smooth.
Regards Dick.

Sunday 16th December 2012 Prep: Shower Razor:GEM Micromatic Bullet Tip Blade: GEM Stainless Coated Brush: Semogue 830 Boar Soap: Wilkinson Sword Stick (grated into a container) Aftershave: Floid Balm
A really nice shave and my first use of the Wilkinson Sword shaving sticks, they seem to be very good indeed, easy to lather, even with my hard water and producing a rich silky lather, with good glide. In fact just the opposite to the Wilkinson Sword puck/blue bowl which is one of the worst soaps I have tried, I binned mine!
I do find it strange that the useless puck is available in every supermarket and the excellent sticks are so hard to come across and are not stocked by any of the major British supermarkets!
Regards Dick.
