Catie’s Bubbles La Terre Verte today. 20 seconds to load the Mozingo/WSP Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Personna Med Prep still in the Gillette NEW LC. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Executive Man aftershave.

Thursday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 4
Hamol SC
Prep ASB
Booster Polar Ice AS Splash

The only thing I would have needed to make this a complete barbershop shave is a straight razor which unfortunately I can no longer use, otherwise this was VERY barbershoppy and very nice. The Hamol smells so old school and lovely, just a dab on both cheeks gives tons of awesome lather, and the mild cooling effect feels great. The Prep, together with the Polar Ice aftershave which is a Canadian barbershop classic were a perfect finish. Smooth as silk from two passes!

Had an excellent shave today with this Aristocrat, thanks to @Jrdelgado. I removed the remaining end cap and did some cleaning and polishing to clean up the areas. Also added a new bottom lining to the case. Two passes with minor touch up for a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave.
