Monday, April 11th

Razor: DR Harris Chatsworth
Blade: Rapira
Brush: Rooney Beehive in Two Band
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Palmolive Shave Stick
A/S: Floris Santal

Yesterday's shave was so good that I decided to double down on the main components. The Rapira and DR Harris Chatsworth again teamed with the Palmolive shave stick to produce an outstanding shave. The Splash of Floris Santal was a great way to finish an excellent shave.

 

Menthol Monday!

Voskhod (1)
Omega Boar 10275
Everest sc
Nivea Sensitive as balm
Osage Rub
Azzaro por homme


Been awhile since I've used the Everest cream and I'd forgotten how good it is. That is one potent little tube, just less than a pea on my brush then to the face for 2 slick cushioned passes with a good cooling sensation to boot! With the amount of lather left over I was good for at least 2 more runs if I'd wanted it.
