Wednesday

After a nice morning at the golf course:

Razor: 6/8 Puma
Brush: "The Strand" boar
Soap: Trumpers Rose
A/S: Clinique PSH
Edt: Tabac a/s



First time using the Tabac a/s.I found it much more to my liking than the Edc. Much softer and easier to wear.

 

Wednesday 3/11

• Penchetta Penworks Silvertip
• Institut Karite SS
• 6/8 Wostenholm Celebrated IXL (1 pass WTG)
• Fatboy (4) (1 pass XTG)
• Gillette 7 O'Clock Black
• Thayer's Alcohol Free Original
• Speick splash (last of my sample... )

Result: Already noticing improvement with the straight. I'm not sure I like 2 pass shaves, though. My stubble grows back way too fast, and I've been spoiled now that my shaves are generally BBS...
