I have not use the Pre de Provence soap in a while. I figured a nice citrusy type scent would work well with the humidity forecasted for the day. The scent does.
I managed to pull off a DFS although the shave was not a smooth As I would have preferred. The shave was the third for this blade. Normally, I am able to get 5 shaves out of the Gillette 7 O’clock Green (Super Stainless). I am not sure if the blade was presenting a challenge, the slickness of the lather or a combination of both. I did notice that following the shave my face felt more on the drier side than usually. Therefore, the reason for the double balm treatment and the decision no to chase the baby.
Well, hopefully the repeat performance will be smoother.
