SOTD: 11th October 2022. Shaving recipe for today. Prep: Warm shower:/Asda Mandarin & Lemongrass Extract Shower Gel. Pre: Cold wet flannel to my face. Pears with Mint Extracts Transparent Bar Soap. Brush: Anbbas Boar. Bowl Lather. Bowl: Home Bargains Stainless Steel Side Bowl. Lather: Palmolive Classic Shave Cream. Blade: Gillette London Bridge.

Post: Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse. /Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel. /P&G Old Spice Hawkridge ASL. / L'0REAL Barber Club Reinforcing ASB. Greetings, Early morning shave, Everything in my shave set up this morning worked together superbly. The humble Palmolive classic shave cream is a fantastic shave cream and it i has a good residual slickness and protection and post shave feel which IMHO the three things that make a good shaving cream/soap not so much it's density or scent. As always YMMV, opinions are very subjective. An enjoyable 2 pass + pick -ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of L'0REAL Barber Club Reinforcing ASB. My face is feeling cool, smooth & smelling divine. Keep safe and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Tuesday morning: Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 14 Bielita SC Nip Man ASB Thayer’s Lavender Witch Hazel Floid Vigoroso AS Splash This Bielita cream is from Belarus and it’s sold not only there but in Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, and Kazakhstan. It’s got a nice flowery kind of scent, it lathers like crazy even from a small dab on both cheeks, there’s a mild but pleasant menthol sensation, and the skincare is excellent. The Nip Man balm from the UK has such a beautiful minty scent, it’s so moisturizing, cooling, and soothing, the Thayer’s Lavender witch hazel is wonderful - very little scent to it but it’s so soothing and gentle on my sensitive skin. Finally the Floid Vigoroso aftershave went on icy cold along with its beautiful old school barbershop scent that I love so much. The Wilkinson Sword blade is pretty well kaput but it gave me one last hoorah with a terrific three pass BBS shave! Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and safe!
