Prep: hot shower
Razor: Slim Twist
Blade: Treet Platinum (day 2)
Brush: Vie-Long
Soap: Col Conk lime
Passes: 2 (WTG, XTG) + touch ups
Post: Dove Men hydrate+

A few things going on with today's shave... I've been trying to use up my Col Conk soap as I'm too cheap to buy another bowl. The "doughnut" just doesn't want to give up, I might just mash in in with the Arko....

While we're still on the topic of soap, I went for a warm lather this morning. I enjoy a warm lather,but it's not a part of my normal routine. It was a nice touch today, especially since it's trying to snow... unfortunately the warmth faded to quickly. There was more then enough lather however! I could have easily completed an additional 3 pass shave.

And I have a feeling it would have needed to be three passes. The slim twist did not pair very well with the Treet Platinum. I was not happy with the results after two passes and lathered up for some target ATG touch ups.

Blade: Wilkinson Sword (4)
Brush: Vie Long Horse Hair
Soap: DR Harris - Marlborough

A great comfortable almost BBS shave today. The Vie Long whipped up the Marlborough to a great yogurt like consistency. The FB and the Bow had no problem with mowing down the stubble. The AV brought the chill and the Cuir Cannage will have me smelling great for the rest of the day.

Have a blessed day!
