    Thursday morning:

    Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/ Derby day 5
    Bundubeard Rooi Afrikaner SS
    Bull Dog Moisturizer
    Bleu de Chanel AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    Jaco’s Rooi Afrikaner soap has such a beautiful herbal/soapy scent, the lather gets so thick, rich, and super slick so the blade glide is perfect, and it gives excellent postshave care. The Bull Dog moisturizer is so soothing and the Bleu de Chanel aftershave smells absolutely gorgeous, not to mention how cooling it feels on my skin. The eau de parfum is my favourite fragrance - just a couple of small sprays last all day. What a brilliant BBS shave this was!

    Stay healthy and safe!

    A lot of people find feathers to be too sharp for their liking, but i have to say, i got beautiful shaves out of one of them over the last month, and they're my favourite blades for sure! They pair super well with a mild razor, so i paired them with my UK made super speed flare tip.

    I ended up getting 18 uses from the blade, and used the same setup for the first 15 before switching the brush and soap for the last 3. It provided tug free shaves up until the last 3, these blades never cease to amaze me for sure.

    I also decided to use my stick of Arko as much as possible so that i can finally say i finished a soap, and as you can see, I'm getting pretty close. This stick has 1.5 years of use on it, being used on average at least once a week during that time, so it offers near unbeatable performance and value at the price for sure.

    The second soap I used was rooi Afrikaner, which is my local arko alternative, with a beautiful artisan worthy scent, and a price that puts it in about the same category as arko. Performance wise they're near identical, with plenty of slickness.

    The aftershave is a real special one, i inherited this one from my dad, who as far as i know got it from my grandfather, so a very sentimental aftershave.

    Shave 1-15:
    Razor: Gillette super speed flare tip (UK)
    Brush: Omega 49
    Soap: arko shave stick
    Blade: feather hi-stainless
    Aftershave: ego, Bahama mist

    Shave 16-18
    Razor: Gillette super speed flare tip (UK)
    Brush: Wilkinson sword classic shave
    Soap: bundubeard Rooi Afrikaner
    Blade: feather hi-stainless
    Aftershave: ego, Bahama mist[​IMG][​IMG]
