Still shaving from the GoBag, still getting really nice shaves out of it, and still longing for my den with it’s wider range of options.
A bit early this morning when I went out; -6°C. Not terrible cold, but cold for being this part of Norway this early. Still, the splash of Krampert’s Finest Bay Rum I put on my face just before popping out felt great – and the chill brought out the fragrance in a new way.

Still on the Go, sort of, so still shaving from the GoBag. Getting some really nice shaves out of it, so I’m not complaining.
Pre-shave: Dr Bronner’s liquid Peppermint
Lather: Lea shavestick and Arko Cool Ice cream
Brush: Body Shop Synthetic
Razors: Merkur 985CL with a Lord Platinum, and Cadet TTO-13 with a Wilkinson Sword
Post-shave: Cold water rinse, travel sized alum stick and Krampert’s Finest Bay Rum
The mixed lather – shave stick on my face, a touch of cream on the brush – gave a richer, denser lather than either on their own. A very nice shave away from my main den.
Pre-shave: Warm water rinse

Brush: Body Shop Synthetic
Razors: Merkur 985CL with a Lord Platinum, and Cadet TTO-13 with a Wilkinson Sword
Post-shave: Cold water rinse, travel sized alum stick and Krampert’s Finest Bay Rum
Sort of on the go, with an extended Go Kit. A pretty good shave all around, even if I would like more time and a better mirror.

Lather: Lea Shave stick
Brush: Body Shop Synthetic
Razors: Merkur 985CL with a fresh Lord Platinum, and Cadet TTO-13 with a fresh Wilkinson Sword

Sort of on the go, with an extended Go Kit. First shave with the Cadet TTO, and a nice one at that. A DFS all told.

Lather: Dalan d’Men Energic cream
Brush: New Turkish No6
Razors: Wilkinson Sword Classic, with a Wilkinson Sword blade (3)

Still busy with my new gear – todays cream was nicely mentholated. A DFS all around, as usual.

Lather: GzD shave stick
Brush: New Turkish No6
Razors: Wilkinson Sword Classic, with a Wilkinson Sword blade (2)
Post-shave: Cold water rinse, Alum block and Kramperts Finest Bay Rum
Still breaking in the new gear. The ‘new’ No6 is breaking in quickly, and the GzD made a wonderful lather. A DFS all told.

Brush: New Turkish No6
Razors: Wilkinson Sword Classic, with a fresh Wilkinson Sword blade
Post-shave: Cold water rinse, Alum block and Kramperts Finest Bay Rum
An “all new” shave; the cream, brush and razor all arrived last week. A DFS, even if the brush needs a bit of breaking in.

Lather: Mike’s Natural Unscented Soap
Brush: Vie Long 14033 badger-horse
Razors: Racer and Yuma, both with a unmarked blade
