Monday, November 28th

Razor: Gillette Norfolk
Blade: Schick Plus Platinum
Brush: Simfix Grosvenor LE
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Penhaligons Blenheim (Tallow Version)
A/S: Avon Tai Winds

An excellent shave with vintage/discontinued items. The Gillette Norfolk sometimes seems a bit aggressive but the Schick Plus Platinum blade tames it very well and I enjoyed a very smooth BBS shave.
 
Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran, 2-band Blonde Badger
Razor: 11/16" J.A. Henckels #50, Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point
Edge Refresh: 5 (light) laps on CrOx-treated Premium IV leather
Strop: 0/60 laps (Tony Miller Heirloom Horsehide)
Soapreme: Al Raz Custom "Spicy" Shave Creme + Heslinger "Honey" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol)
After Shave/Cologne Splash: Floïd Italian Blue
After Shave Balm: RazoRock AS Wax
Cologne: Acca Kappa "Muschio Bianco" EdT
Results: One can never go wrong with a Henckels:001_wub:. Today's shave with the #50 was no exception. After a quick edge refresher on CrOx, this baby was ready for action. The concoction with Al's shave creme and the Heslinger soap produced an amazingly rich and lubricant lather, and filled the den with a complex and spicy aroma. What a prep and what a shave :thumbsup:. Life is good and my face is HS (Henckel Smooth)
