Greetings
Monday 31st December 2012 Prep: Shower Razor: GEM OCMM Blade: GEM Stainless Coated Brush: Burma Shave Boar Soap: Lea Stick grated into a container Aftershave: Wilkinson Sword Sensitive Balm
As near to a perfect shave as it's possible to get.
The Lea sticks with Lanolin and Glycerine are superb performers but smell only of soap, the smell reminds me of the old sunlight soap my mother used to rub on shirt collars before washing them!
Regards and a happy new year (just heard on the radio that it already is in Samoa) Dick.

Road shave for my 2012 final one. 1912 Gem Jr. (G3 WWII set) PAL D-2ish Omega Travel Boar VDH Deluxe Barbasol Brisk The water here at the farm in MS is super soft. Makes for a great easy shave. Loved every minute of it. It's been a great year to be a SE freak.

31 December 2012Razor: Cobra Classic + Feather Professional (3) Brush: E7 Scarlett Soap: D.R. Harris Arlington -- Mahogany Bowl Post: Unrefined Shea Butter + Krampert's Finest Bay Rum
Very nice coming back to the Cobra. I'm still not falling in love with the D.R. Harris lather. It may be making an appearance in the Soap Trade thread soon. I used less USB today & liked the results much better. My wife's hands are showing such a huge improvement already. She's thrilled. USB is amazing, try it if you haven't yet.
