Tuesday, 31 May:
Gem MM Clog Pruf
Gem SS/PFTE Blade (4)
Made-Rite 500 PB Brush
Euro Palmolive Cream

Since my shave yesterday was so late in the day, I opted for a 1 pass shave this morning (ATG). I don't think I'll be doing that again. I just wasn't that satisfied with the results.

Thursday, 2 June:
Gem MM Clog Pruf
Gem SS/PFTE Blade (1)
Made-Rite 500 PB Brush
Nivea Rasier Crème
Aqua Velva Ice Blue
What a difference a fresh blade made in this morning's shave! I don't know what was wrong with the last one. I usually get quite a few more shaves than just 5 out of one of the SS/PFTE (a.k.a. Pella) blades.

Friday, 3 June:
Gem OCMM
Gem SS/PFTE Blade (2)
Made-Rite 500 PB Brush
KMF Key Lime Cream
Barbasol Brisk
Once again, the OCMM has proven why it's number one among my admittedly small collection of SEs. I got the closest shave I've had in days...very smooth also. I also got great performance from the KMF, a cream that normally doesn't work so well for me.

Sunday, 5 June:
Gem OCMM
Gem SS/PFTE Blade (4)
Made-Rite 500 PB Brush
Palmolive Shave Stick
Barbasol Brisk
Close and comfortable shave with the OCMM once again and excellent slickness with the Palmolive stick. The Barbasol Brisk gave me a great cool down on a hot and muggy day.
