Alpha Classic G4 28mm
L’Occitane Cade soap
RR Hawk V3 OCplate
Feather Proguard ( 4 )
Myrsol Antesol A/S Lotion

Am beginning to like The Hawk OC a lot more with a guarded blade on board. An excellent Sunday morning outing , especially good at working around the chin. Did not use the Tuff A/S as I decided to use up the last of the Myrsol Antesol, really nice but a shame it is hard to get hold of.
