Pre-shave; Warm shower, face rinse with MWF bar soap.
Brush; Simpson, Chubby 2, Faux Emerald resin handle with a 27mm Manchurian Badger knot. “Limited Edition”
Soap; Stirling Soaps, ‘’Frankinscent‘’ 5 used pucks mixed together, (apparently taking up too much space x SHMBO) in an original Franklin Toiletry Co 1976 Barbershop Mug.
Razor; Gillette. The New, Raised Flat Bottom (RFB), 2 piece razor, OC in Silver plate. From 1934, Set #88.
Blade; Gillette, Super Stainless, the SPOILER
Post-shave; My Concoction; Wahl Traditional Bay Rum 500mls, Witch Hazel 500mls, Moroccan Argan Oil 100mls, Bay Laurel Essential Oil 25mls, Vit E 5mls, Natural Plant Glycerine 2.5mls and 1.25mls of Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (Thoroughly mixed together) aftershave/moisturiser splash!! ‘’Superb’’
Cologne/EDP;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Shave; Very pleasant shave with the 2 piece RFB, I find this model Gillette smoother and more efficient than all my other Gillette’s, though for absolute ‘’Eye Candy” Aristocrat Generation 1 is my clear cut winner. The Manchurian whipped up a nice ‘’face’’ lather from the Stirling/s and nicely finished with My Concoction.

2017 Sabbatical Fail
2018 Charity Auction Winner
Brush:- Omega MB1899 Black Resin 24/53mm knot Elite Fibre Synth.
Soap/Cream:- Haslinger Schafmilch Sheep Milk & Lanolin (tallow)
Razor/Blade:- BIC 1 Sensitive Disposable Cartridge Razor #4
Post/After-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed into the 240ml bottle with Plunkett's Vita E Pure with Rosehip Oil (10 drops), Natural Plant Glycerine (20) & Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (5)
Moisturising Cream:- Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Fragrance-Free (for autumn & winter season)
Finally..... At last, since I've been into spinal rehabilitation on the 12th January for at least three months.
I'm finally going home next Friday 8th of May, so I need at least a week or two to settle into my unit first, and then I have a lot of planning, which I'm not going to be very happy. I prefer not to talk about it, so just leave it at that.
