Tuesday

Razor - Zinn Gem Automatic
Blade - Ted Pella injector
Soap - Mama Bear's Irish Tweed
Witch hazel
Styptic
AS - Body shop macca root

It started off as an excellent shave - I have been experimenting with blade position and angle on my Zinn for a while and seem to have struck gold - three passes went without hitch (WTG, XTG, ATG) and no irritation or nicks. Then I went for my touch ups - the soap had dried too much (only my third attempt with soap, and I'm using a cheap boar at the moment which isn't great at all. I've got a better brush on the way) and I was showered with nicks, hence witch hazel and styptic today. I've still ended up with a perfect BBS, but it was a bloody one! I'll try again in a few days when my face has healed with some cream instead of soap... watch this space.

Thursday 4/8/10

1912 Gem Damaskene w/ Pella Gem (1)
Unknown handle w/Golden Nib Finest
Mem sc
Dickinson's WH
Speick a/s
Musgo Real a/s balsam
GFT Spanish Leather Cologne

Terrific shave this morning. I think I do better with the Gem than with the Ever-Ready although after yesterday's shave with the '71 SS and Bolzano I am reminded about the difference in the feel of the SE and the DE. The Speick a/s is great and I love the Musgo balsam. If I only had one cologne to use I could easily live with the Spanish Leather.
