Micromatic Menthol Monday! Cool morning here. Good day to cut wood. I am building a stack before I bring out the wood splitter. I will split all of it at once.
Razor - GEM Micromatic MMBT
Blade - GEM Personna SS (4)
Pre-shave - Proraso Green
Soap - Proraso Green (Bloomed)
Brush - Simpson "Commodore"
Post shave - Thayers Toner (unscented) & Geo F Trumper "Skinfood" sandalwood
AS - Pinaud Clubman "Whiskey Woods"
I will shower later after working on wood. Washed face and warmed the scupper & brush with HOT water. Bloomed soap for a few minutes and thn loaded brush over the scupper to create a bunch of warm lather that cooled the face on application. I did a 2-pass shave WTG & ATG with no cleanup. Pleasant and smooth afterwards. Alum bar was silent. I think I have the technique down well. No cuts, nicks, or weepers.
The bullet tip is a nice shaver! Tomorrow I will use the Star 1912. I want to finish this blade this week to end the month.No shaving buddy this morning. He stayed downstairs lounging near my chair waiting for me to come back down. LOL
