  5. 6661CA03-3914-46A9-AAF1-07E06C90DD04.jpeg Saturday morning - a little Canadian pride:

    L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 7
    First Canadian Polar Vortex SS
    Prep ASB
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

    The Astra blade pretty well crapped out on me during the second pass but miraculously this shave turned out to be BBS albeit with a lot of touching up everywhere. This Polar Vortex soap by itself is fantastic - it’s a pleasure to lather up, and it’s got a wicked menthol sensation but the scent is really nothing to write home about and there’s unfortunately a lack of skincare so that’s the reason why I don’t use it often. The Prep relieved the dryness and irritation right away and the Aqua Velva added its own special icy cold soothing with that nice old school scent that I love so much. By the way, the Polar Vortex soap is made in Canada!

    Lilac works well for the heat I think
    MW is great if'n you can dial it in.
    I can easily with synthetic brushes.
    I do struggle with badgers
    And don't even try with boars.

    Must be something with water volume /timing bkah blah. We've heard it all before. Just another ramble. The soap post shave is wonderful. And I love low profile lathers

    Thanks Primo for the lilac reminder[​IMG]

  20. Pre: Warm water splash
    Brush: Zenith B03-A26 Boar
    Soap: GD Ambrosia
    Razor: Fatip Picollo
    Blade: Astra SP
    Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Myrsol F./Extra ASL

    IMG_20190608_172000.jpg
    A couple of positives today, after allowing the Ambrosia to breathe indefinitely it's eventually lost the Eau De Tomcat aroma and the Zenith is not hogging the lather quite so much.
    I'm very pleased because it's excellent soap and I'm now convinced the brush will release all its lather one day.
    Happy Shaving one and all.
