Shave O' the day (Tuesday):

- Merkur Progress with WS blade.
- Taylors Rose (brush "primmed" with KMF olive oil soap)
- AOS Alum block
- Thayers Rose Petal WH
- Proraso "milky" AS balm.

Another very good shave, but not as good as yesterday. It could be that the blade is a little more dull after using it once, or it could just be that I was extra lucky yesterday.

Since I have been away I have been using a 1937 Schick Injector, Schick Platinum blades, MenU Premier Brush, Mama Bear Celestial Water and Elements of Bamboo Soap and Nancy Boy A/S. The results have been consistently superior to anything I have managed thus far. This is another example of just how beneficial product fidelity can be.
 
Shower:
Caswell-Massey Sandalwood Shampoo and Conditioner
Caswell-Massey Sandalwood Soap

Shave:
Schick Injector
CVS Injector Blades
QED Sandalwood Shave Soap
EJ for C&E Super
Thayer's Rose WH
C&E Nomad ASB

First shave with the injector was impressive. Absolutely no neck irritation whereas I nearly always have some neck irritation with the de razor. Can't wait for this week's shaves and the new acquisitions!
 
Gillette Razor (dated A 1, no idea what that means, but it's a TTO)
Vulfix #2234
The Gentlemen's Quarter Coconut Shave Soap
The Gentlemen's Quarter Bay Rum A/S Splash

A great night time shave!
