Eurfros LE 2018

First time with this razor and blade and offered up a very smooth shaving experience helped by the excellent Eufros and some good shaving oil.

 

Thank you. I was actually very, very lucky in purchasing the YSL. Would you believe I purchased it from a clearance rack in a local Macy’s early 2011? A complete set that includes edt, balm and body wash all for..... Get this, $39.99! 80% off from the original price. I almost fell over and crawled up into a fetal position. As I was running out of the store with my purchase, I kept looking back over my shoulder waiting for an associate or security to stop me from getting to the door while dragging the Misses along in full Jason Bourne Ultimatum mode. She was not happy....

Wednesday.
Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: Barbaros TR-1
Blade: Treet Black Beauty
Brush: ‘Il Cinghiale’ (Zenith EURO/RX)
Soap: Skullbuster: Kumbaya
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / L'Occitane Cade After Shave Balm

decided to throw caution to the wind with this shave, and try the TR-1 with a Black Beauty, and.... despite the fact that I've used blades that were far worse, and the shave was actually quite good, it's not one I'll be reaching for often..


Friday.
Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: ‘The Rock’ (Rockwell 6S – #3)
Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra
Brush: 'The Duke' (Duke 3 Best)
Soap: Shannon's "Lit"
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Chatillon Lux Santal Auster Post-Shave Salve

OK, I'll hold my hands up, and admit to the fact that I'd totally forgotten how good Shannon's regular base is... having been super impressed with their Rust Belt Reserve offering, which really is outstanding, I was keen to revisit "Lit", and colour me chuffed, what a fantastic lather.... and with the Gillette Bleue Extra getting better with every shave, I was rewarded with a totally sublime shave... HELL YEAH!!
