Wash - Meissner Tremonia Puristic
Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
Pre shave - Prep
Razor – Barbaros TR-1
Blade – Lord Platinum
Brush - 'Jade' (Rooney Heritage 2XL Jade)
Soap – OSP Eucalyptus + Menthol
Post - Witch Hazel

what a difference a blade makes... and soap!...the Lord/OSP combo provided a very comfortable, BBS shave with the Barbaros. I think the Nanny’s Traditional Moroccan Sands is going to have to be used with the Hone, which provides a milder, more forgiving shave..

I chose a Silver Blue this morning so as to compare it with the fresh memories of the Polsilvers I have been using lately, and I have to say that, at least in the Slant, I prefer the Polsilvers. They are a tad sharper and equally mellow. It is likely that in the Edwin Jagger is the other way around and I prefer the Silver Blue over the Polsilver. I remember very good shaves with the 89 head and the Silver Blues. Gotta give them a go one of these days.

All in all, a great three pass shave with an incident free BBS outcome. The Alvarez Gómez cream could be my one and only shaving product. I find it extremely slick and protective, with a very nice and soothing post shave.

Time to test Derby Premium. It is planned to hit the shelves in Turkey this month.

Started off my "Schick September" with some class. The type-O always gives me a smooth BBS. First time with the Wolf Whiskers and I'm impressed. The 1912 cashmere smells like Mike's Barbershop to me. Fantastic shave all around.
