Feather Pro #3
Wolf Whiskers Red & Black TGN High Mountain White
Dusy Kabinett
Alum, Dickinson’s ++Menthol, Cucumber Melon Whipped Shea Butter
Fine – Platinum
Penhaligon’s Blenheim Bouquet EDT

A wonderful Saturday morning shave of two passes was the closest DFS I’ve had in a long time. The awesome Rose scent of the Dusy Kabinett was matched by its stellar performance. Thanks to the generosity of @michaelAD and the scuttlebutt on TSD for leading me to Dusy.
The High Mountain White is fast becoming my favorite TGN knot. Scanctuary's cucumber-Melon Whipped Shea Butter is a super moisturizer that leaves my face feeling cool and smooth. Finished off this one a generous spritz of Fine Platinum, to be followed by the Blenheim Bouquet EDT. Hope your shave is good and your Weekend too!

Oops! I used to much Arko

 

That Iced Lime is very interesting. Is it expensive?

 

Just saw this about the Iced lime. Damn that's a good price. It's a big bottle

Edit: I checked eBay, it was 300kr shipped here. So, almost 34$ i can't justify that hahahaha

Saturday 26.09.2015

It is Saturday morning and it is time to chuck out the old and bring in the new.
Last time I used only discontinued Proraso stuff, but this time I wanted to use only new formula Proraso and compare the experience.

What I first noticed was the chill. The old type did not have much menthol left in it, despite the fact that I used a "brand new" tub. The newer one gave me a cooler sensation right away. Not too much, just enough to be noticeable.
The lather also seemed to be of better quality, not much, just enough to be noticeable.

I used the same razor and blade combo as last time, and if you put all this together you get the recipe of a perfect shave.
I belive the razor and blade combo deserve the most of the credit, but Proraso's reputation as a solid performer is not without merit.

The aftershave was a nice finish to this shave, and also here I give the edge to the new formula. Not by much, but enough to be noticeable.

Razor: Gillette Bell Tech
Blade: Iridium Super (2)

No worries Ryan, Shaving oil works great on sensitive areas like necks. Enjoy your beard. Hey, try some beard oils if you don't have any already. Have a great weekend.

Soap: Proraso Green

Well, my compliments to the lovely country of Norway - they have a hell of a winner with this Brutalt Bra soap. The scent is really, really nice and it lathers very easily. I must admit that the container is rather small but that's ok because not much is required to get going. The skincare is also pretty damed good, even if I say so myself. The Booster Iced Lime compliments this soap very well indeed. I had a most enjoyable shave, and very BBS!
