    TUESDAY'S SHAVE​

    Razor - GEM 1912 Travel Model (Sold to me by Jovraljr.)
    Blade - Personna GEM Stainless Steel Coated *4th Shave
    Shave Brush - Everyman Jack Synthetic
    Shaving Soap - West Coast Shaving "Fougere" *Jojoba Cream Formula
    Lather Bowl by Freida of the Etsy shop ASfreidaturns
    Aftersahve - Humphrys Organic Distilled Witch Hazel *mentholated with PAA "Chill Mill" menthol crystals
    Deoderant - Houbigant - Fougère Royale
    Fragrance - Houbigant - Fougère Royale

    I'm craving this classy tart scent. Gotta make this the Shave Of The Day!

    ***EDIT - I got a ridiculously great shave this morning. 2 pass + spot clean up. Smooth. On one small section of my neck is a little sensitive post-shave, but the rest of my face and other side of my neck is perfect. This time around I used my Lather & Wood pre-shave oil and I painted on the lather after lathering it up in the bowl. This method work really, really well. I could feel a distinct difference on this shave using this combo and painting method. The razor had more glide and my skin was more protected. A really positive result.

    I love this overall fougere shave. Really amazing. Only Catie's Bubbles Florentine Fern is in the ballpark with this Fougere, but Florentine Fern leans more bitter and the scent bites a bit more, while Fougere Royale leans towards a hint of sweet.

    I was very much in the mood to use this lavanderish soap and I did: good thing self-determination!

    You don't smell it much when you open the bowl, but once you pour a little hot water on top of of the soap...it erupts!

    Instead, the balm fragrance is very strong!
    And that it is of the highest quality, you can tell by the fact all it takes just a pea to cover the entire face. And it is very effective.

    Winter will come sooner or later...
    In the meantime... enjoy this horrible photo!
