    SRS # 913 - French Themed Shave # 3
    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: Thiers-Issard Super Gnome Extra

    Lather: Pre de Provence No. 63
    Aftershave: Pre de Provence No. 63 Aftershave Balm

    Given the issues with the soap dissipating upon application from the bowl to
    My face yesterday I decided to face lather this morning. Eureka! The lather produced albeit on the thinner side up head and performed well. Three passes of super closeness without any irritation.

    We spent our day in “The “City of Lights”.

    This shave went well. Thanks to Arko, I got a BBS shave on the face, neck and head. Didn't bleed and no irritation was the order of the day. Negligible alum feedback on neck and that was all she wrote. Splashed on the Aqua Velva to end this fine shave. Take care.

    Thanks Gary. I mainly use the Mühle R102 for headshaves because it's very efficient. I do very little cleanup after 3 passes.

    Another super close shave with my longest tenured straight in my den. I love the TI. I would not mind another! Restraints are in place. Besides I have a few restorations on the bench at home that need finishing up.

    Hope you all have a great day.
