Thanks!
I was surprised with the Progress: what a superb shave (one of the best I ever had)! Perfect balance, perfect head angle, everything's excellent. I think it will quickly become my favourite DE razor...

After yesterday's "cheap" shave, it was time for the most expensive I can come up with.


Sunday

Bukhave Scuttle
Edwin Jagger Silvertip
Korff & Honsberg 7/8" "El Barbero De Sevilla - Dos Angelitos"

Castle Forbes Lime Shaving Cream
Christian Dior - Fahrenheit Aftershave Lotion
Christian Dior - Fahrenheit Eau De Toilette


The razor is by far the most expensive in my collection (of mostly restored e-bay finds). I am very fond of it; it is a very beautiful instrument.
A few more pictures of it here.


Have a fantastic Sunday, Gentlemen

Sunday

1959 Gillette Super Speed
Dorco ST301 (2)
Culmak Viscount
Palmolive Shaving Stick
Gillette Series ASB
Adidas Dynamic Pulse AS - with added menthol

A lovely smooth shave which ended up with a DFS, cant be bothered to push the boat out to get a BBS with a mild razor, a DFS is good enough no irritation, no weepers, just a few bits around my chin that could be gone over a few times. I'm definately like the mild razors atm, the SS and Tech are being used alternatively, might have to bring some of the big guns out soon tho.

TTFN
