    Ahhhhhh did this shave ever feel nice. The Gin+TOTR soap was so generous with its lather, its great, refreshing scent and its menthol effect. The Alt Innsbruck aftershave gave me a powerful cold punch with its classy scent!

    Have a great Christmas Eve!

    First shave with a Personna Med Prep blade. I probably received them as part of a sample pack a few years ago and had forgotten I even had them. Came upon them as I was taking inventory and preparing for a 2018 sabbatical regarding new shaving purchases.

    Anyway, my initial impression is that the Med Prep blade is every bit a sharp as a Feather yet it exhibits the smoothness of an Astra SP. Two pass / minor touch-up BBS shave. I'll see how it holds up this week as I usually get 7 shaves per blade(s) in my rotation and start with a new blade on Sundays.

    Cream: Speick
    Brush: Omega S10065 synthetic
    Bowl: Dollar Tree salsa
    Razor: RazoRock German 37 slant
    Blade: Personna Med Prep (1)
    Aftershave: HBG Florida

    Crackers for after Christmas dinner!

    Love this review! Well done. I may order some if it's still possible - nearly did last week but I only just got 2 tubs (Whitechapel and Oberon - both gorgeous!)

    CHRISTMAS EVE SHAVE :santa
    20171224_095547-02-3187x1793.jpeg

    L'Oreal Men Expert Hydra Sensitive Face Wash
    JR168
    Phoenix and Beau Oberon
    Gillette Aristocrat #21
    Gillette 7 O'Clock Green
    A little alum, and
    Proraso After shave balm

    Good 3 passes. Did give myself a decent nick with the aristocrat - it is pretty aggressive, compared to my New LC. Good shave otherwise though. I'd call it a DFS. Have a wonderful day everyone, and merry Christmas to you all for tomorrow. Second Christmas for my son, Jacob. Won't be hard to make it one to remember :D

    Christmas Eve Shave
    '48-'50 Gillette Aristocrat Razor
    Bic Chrome Platinum Blade
    Omega 10065 Boar Brush
    Omega Shave Cream
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Pinaud Clubman After Shave

    First time using Omega shave cream and it was a delight, and is now on my top five soap list. The brush, while new, wasn't as stiff as some other boar brushes. The scent has a pleasant citrus smell to it, which I think pairs very well to Pinaud after shave. Two passes with minor touch up for an extremely smooth and comfortable BBS shave.
