Shavex alum
Clubman, mixed with SCS Blue Line

Meh...bit of a rough shave. The Pen's reformulation does not produce creamy cushiony lather, and I got a few scrape spots. Could be the blade, but I don't think so.

EDIT: holy hell, I got an absolutely horrible shave, lol...fighting major redness and irritation right now, and my face is full of ouch...

First post in about a week because I've been out of state, shaving with a Bic disposable. *shudder*

Here is today's shave:

English Fern (tallow) | Simpson's PJ2 | 11/16 Boker King Cutter | Harris Milk | EF EdT

Long story short, I picked up this Boker from Mercury895 shortly after he bought it:
Boker King Cutter w/Rambuttan scales

It is INCREDIBLE, an amazing restoration and rescaling done by lax1mxr. This razor shaves like a dream, and is beautiful in the hand. I'm so happy! :lol::lol:
 
Today's shave included:

Kiss My Face Mint Shaving Cream
Gillette SS with Feather Blade
Truefitt & Hill Silvertip Brush
Thayer's Witch Hazel
Nivea AS Balm

Overall, a pretty good shave. One little nick with this new Feather blade.
I'm learning that I enjoy using shaving creams a lot more when they have a nice scent. I tend to like woodsy, earthy smells and so wasn't overly impressed with KMF mint.
 
Saturday afternoon:

Plisson 14
Valobra stick; grated
Trumper Sandalwood Skin Food
EJ Chatsworth with Gillette Platinum blade (Oslo)
D.R. Harris Pink & Milk
Floris Vetiver EdT

 
Merkur 33c / Tescos,
The Real Shaving Co. Self Heating Face Mask,
Cheepo PBB,
GFT Rose SC,
Alum Block,
GFT Coral Skin Food.

Thought I'd give the Hot Towel Cream an other outing?
I'm still undecided. Sure it's fun and it's warm but the heat
doesn't seem to hang around for long?
Mind you, truth be told, it was a good shave.
Maybe it does help?
