Morning B&Bers,


Wednesday, July 25, 2012


Morning Coffee: Drunkin Donuts
Prep: Hot Cloth face wash with MRGLO
Preshave: EJ Cream
Soap/Cream: Weleda
Razor: Edwin Jaggar 89LBL
Blade: Derby
Brush: Simpson Keyhole 2
Passes: WTG, XTG, ATG
Post: Warm then Cold water rinse followed Weleda tonic
AS/ASB: Weleda

The Weleda cream lathered slightly better than the Palmolive did yesterday, but took more product to do so. It produced a moderately slick shave and overall I am pleased with the results. I don't feel the cream is as high a caliber as the tonic or ASB. If you like an ASB which is not thick and creamy and more diluted and absorbent then you will enjoy using Weleda.

The razor is nothing to look at, and the brush is well loved with it's chipped paint, but the shave was superb! I guess I'm lucky in that none of the Razorock soaps cause me any problems.

24mm TGN Finest in Everready 1000
Some Russian A/S

Bowl lathered for the first time in a year just for the Pic. Shave was decent. I'd say Coti gives me 80% of the closeness and 90% of the comfort of my finer finishes. Nice to try every now and then just to remind myself what it's like.
