Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra (13) //

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas time with all your loved ones. Good food, having fun and enjoy the festivities.
This shave has been a celebration. The razor and the brush were Christmas presents i made myself. The brush has been made by a friend of mine who is actually a Pipe Maker. I asked him if he could (and would) do a handle for me with his signature rustication. He was interested so we sat together and talked. This wonderful brush is the result. It is made from Bruyere. Man i love it. I have a pipe from him also with the same rustication which i smoked yesterday. I will post a pic in the Pipe section later this day.
The Brush lathered up the MWF in no time and in fantastic quality. I love MWF. The Razor is so wonderful to look at with it´s „Flower patterns“. Absolutely stunning. This is now my oldest safety razor in my den. It shaved VERY thoroughly but i think you need to be focused, otherwise i have the feeling that this little fella might bite you. But i had no spots, nicks or cuts at the end, so all is fine.
After 2,5 passes i was BBS, applied my Witch Hazel and after that dried down the Aftershave Gel from Annemarie Börlind. A great „Balm“, which is nearly scentless, goes on very easy and has outstanding facefeel. The first minute or two it is quite a bit „sticky“ but than it is a fantastic moisturizer.
Man, that was a wonderful shave.
10 out of 10
Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.
Greetings
Thorsten
