SOTD "UNITED KINGDOM THEME WEEK" May 29th - June 4th, 2017

I guess I picked a good week to get back to posting my shaves...

Hot Shower
Jack Black Energizing Face Buff
Geo F. Trumper's Extract of Limes skin food
No. 15 Aristocrat (open comb)
Feather Hi Stainless (new)
[REDACTED] Soap (This a work in progress so mum's the word ATM)
Alum
Thayer's Alcohol Free unscented
[REDACTED] A/S (See above)

All I can say is this was one of the best shaves I've ever had! I think I'm getting the hang of this!​

Welcome back! Neat, mysterious shave. Like that decanter. And the Aristocrat ain't bad either.

Jamie's Night Shave..
Used a new Schick type J today..... Always fun ejecting the blank blade.

Nice photo run, Jamie. Great lather pic and the injector portrait is a dandy!!
