SoS; February 2018

Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: Sensor Excel
Blade: N/A
Brush: Rough,No Name Boar
Soap: Stirling’s 'Texas on Fire'
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / The Sudsy Soapery: Lavender & Peppermint Aftershave Splash

Apart from catching my top lip, which was my own careless fault.....that was an impeccable shave...

 

Friday 16th February

Olive Oil Soap
Vitos Pre Shave Cream
Proraso Green Soap
Omega 10049 Boar Brush
Muhle R41 (2011) with a Treet Tez Carbon Steel Blade
Alum Block and Rinse
Lacura Duo-Lift Moisturiser
Alcolada Glacial AS
Oudh Khalifa 2020 EDP

I would say the Treet Tez Blade and the R41 is not a 'Marriage made in Heaven'. The end result was achieved but the blade was not as I would have wished for in use.......not very smooth. Amazingly it passed the Alum test OK.
2 passes and a touch up for a very smooth face, but I won't repeat this combination again. Too many other choices.

Damn, such a wonderful three pass shave that turned out absolutely BBS. The Glacial Spearmint soap gave me tons of frigidly-cold lather that was so rich, slick and protective. The matching balm felt cold as well as so soothing, and the Snake Bite went on almost painfully-cold, but in such a good way!

Have a great day and a restful weekend!
