Greetings,

Early morning shave,

A smooth comfortable performance from the Parker 89R to finish my shaving week off wonderfully.

The Erasmic shave cream is another inexpensive shaving cream that doesn't have much of a scent, but makes up for it's performance and post shave feel.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Sensitive Shaving Cream
Jayaruh #188 Synthetic
Gillette Injector
Personna Injector
CWR
Lustray Spice After Shave

The Proraso Sensitive Shaving Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #188 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Injector and a Personna Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thursday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/new Wilkinson Sword
Bundubeard Sandalwood SS
Aloe Vesta Moisturizer
Proraso Red AS Splash

My dear brother Jaco makes such FABULOUS soaps - his Sandalwood is a real delight. It’s glycerine based, in my honest opinion it has the most beautiful sandalwood scent I ever experienced, my Yaqi Barbershop synthetic worked up tons of super thick, rich, slick, protective lather, and the postshave feeling was so comfortable. The Aloe Vesta moisturizer works so well as a balm - it’s unscented so it’s perfect for sensitive skin, and the Proraso Red aftershave smells absolutely gorgeous. Three passes with the brand new Wilkinson Sword blade gave me a picture perfect BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe!

About Proraso-the red one smells great indeed. I've joined a few of the Refresher A.S. Balm reviewers in calling for them to make a Refresher aftershave in addition to the balm.
