Greetings,

Early morning face & head shave.

The Proraso Sensitive Soap provided me with slick protective lather for the shave leaving a equally good post shave feel. Out of the 3 proraso soaps I've tried I find the sensitive has the best slickness.

A close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Boots Freshwood ASB.

My face and precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Thank you Gary. You are right the Omega 10005 boar is a great brush.

 

I have an Omega boar, but I don't know the # of the thing.

 

show us a pic..copy/ paste one from the net if you have to..

 

Today's shave was a 10/10 still using dial 4 for the whole shave. It was shave 2 on the bottom, 20 in total with the Personna 100 pack made in USA I bought in late 2017.

I used as always, my H 2 or 1962 Gillette Adjustable slim handle shaver without the case.

I shaved after the shower, so I did not need to use any of the shave soap I made from a small hotel lotion and soap/conditioner in the bottle nor any soap of any kind. I did keep the blade wet as needed, face like usual with after shower shave did not need to be kept wet.

The blade was still smoother because this bottom side got stropped more due to not having the blade all the way into the Twin Stropper during that stropping with the first 10--12 turns of the handle where the blade only spun about every 3 shaves in this period before I took the blade out and put it in correctly.

 

Thanks Gary

delightful, still gotta get me a Bostonian, they are either very beat up or very pricey though

Beautiful recovery shave Joe

Thanks Joe

Thanks Joe
