Wednesday SEptember 18th SOTD An interesting and mostly relaxing shave this morning after working the night shift. I never really got the hang of the original Focus Dynamic but acquired the new stainless steel one from a fellow forum member and thought I'd give it a try. Not the smoothest 3 pass shave but I had about 3 days growth with a new 1/2 Feather blade. You also have to train yourself to apply pressure on the back of the plate... Very different shave no doubt. I'll see how things go tomorrow. Happy Hump Day all. Josh Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk
Midweek on Wednesday: Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Gillette day 5 RVT Chapmunk SS Fino ASB Proraso Red AS Splash I’m still getting excellent performance from this Gillette blade - let’s see if it’ll continue for the rest of the week. This Chapmunk soap, like every other one from South Africa that I have gives me such wonderful lather, that spearmint scent is so nice, and its postshave feeling is great thanks to the chamomile in it. The Fino balm is unscented and it’s so moisturizing as well as soothing. I finished off a tube of it after this shave but I have a brand new one which my dear friend Dave sent me not too long ago. The Proraso Red aftershave smells gorgeous - the sandalwood scent is so exotic. An awesome three pass BBS shave which was so enjoyable!
