Saturday morning,

Very pleased with how MWF lathers with a boar bristle brush!
 
Heute morgen:

- Veleiro Pre-Shave Soap
- Proraso Crema Pre & Dopo Barba
- Golddachs Sandelholz Rasierseife

Gem Jr. w/ fat black handle
"Ted Pella" Gem Blade (1)
Omega 10066
Arko (not enough to make good lather, finished the mashed up stick)/KMF Peaceful Patchouli
Razorock Alum
Barbasol Brisk

I started off with the blade loaded in another Gem razor and noticed it wasn't shaving too well. I thought it was my technique because I took a long break from using SEs to use DEs but it was terrible. The razor wasn't holding the blade correctly and kept sliding up as I shaved, no wonder. Changed razors, much better.
 
This afternoon shave got me ready for the new year:

- face wash with Mehmet Aydin soap from Turkey
- Figaro Crema di Barba
- Cerrus badger
- Merkur HD w/ Personna blade

Intermezzo after a small, but persistently bleeding cut:
- Alumn
- Witch Hazel

Final:
- Aqua Velva Musk (I do like that scent)

Didn't need to shave today, but I wanted to try some new stuff I got in the mail. Love lather and menthol in the white tub Proraso. Prefer Clubman over Special Reserve. Just did one pass on five. Not BBS but absolutely no irritation and I look clean shaven. Good day gents!
