This morning's shave was excellent. I decided not to try to stretch the Derby for a 4th shave, and got really smooth with a new 7 AM. This Proraso White bowl soap is so rich in lather, it smells so nice, and has a good amount of menthol in it. I sent it to a couple of guys, and they love it also!

 

Ugh, Monday: Lord razor / Asco Orange blade / Cella SS / Omega brush / Barbasol Brisk Aftershave

Nothing to say except "Great Shave to start the week"

 

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage Rooney badger

Lucky Tiger AS
vintage Old Spice(used as cologne)

Perfect everything this morning..........a close and extremely comfortable shave. Nice to get back to complete wonderfulness with the right blade and razor combo. This shaving cream is also one of the best I've used.

BBS results,

Martin
