    A lovely shave this morning. The Treet Classic was very smooth and sharp. I could have stopped after 2 passes.
    3 passes for a perfect result[​IMG]

    I use the same Aloe Vera Gel to finish the shave. It's cooling and moisturising and non sticky.

    It's my favourite post-shave application, which doesn't clash with A/S or Cologne.;)

    Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #395 2-band Badger
    Kamisori
    Feather Professional
    CWR
    Lucky Tiger AS

    The Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #395 2-band badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Kamisori razor with a Feather Professional blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Smooth Saturday
    This was a great combination. My skin did not really need the balm, but I love the chill and how it makes my skin feel. I also enjoy the scent of the soap.
