MONDAY MORNING GRRRRRRRRR
1911 Gem Junior Pella Generic Boar Brush Wilkinson Sword SS WH Pinaud Classic Vanilla AS
Wonderful shave.. First use of the Wilkinson Sword went well. I like the scent and the lather was great. Will write up a little review after a few shaves.

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.
