Lol! I started bowl lathering prior to you telling me that I should do it. I just never did it on a consistent basis other than a focus. I am enjoying it because it's not that much longer than doing a face lather.

Another fine shave Joe

thank you Joe.

thank you Joe.

..and the Joes' are done in 2..

Thanks Joe.

Lol!

24 May 2023

24 hrs growth
Citrus for breakfast just to add to the mood.

Same setup as yesterday except for:

1, Gillette 7 o’clock (3) third use (now binned)
2, Proraso Pre-shave green/mild menthol (applied to both sides of face this time: I want to finish this)
3, Lathering longer certainly helped.

This Sterling Orange Chill is quite nice, certainly citrus-sy, certainly some menthol, certainly slick, especially after bowl lathering for longer, and does not feel so tallowy as the Executive Man.

Post: HWR/CWR/Alum to a minor weeper under left chin/Thayers/ Proraso Green Rinfrescante ASL.
Jo Malone Citrus Bitters used un-sparingly, complimenting the rest of the shave.

Minor weeper likely a combination of mild Gillette Aristocrat + Day 3 of this blade + more buffing that was needed to get the results I wanted.
ATG top lip getting easier.
Overall 8/10 and quite satisfied.

Very nice shave Chris

Thanks Joe.
