Not bad... not bad at all. I make quite a sloshy, soupy wet mess all over the bathroom when I Methodshave. Everything has a slick, olive-oil soap coating to it!

 

What a beautiful, warm day outside! The birds are chirping, the sun is shining. So why go to the bathroom? It's outdoor-shave-day!

The ingredients:



W&B Barbers Chopper 8/8
Kent BK4
Vintage Kaloderma SC
Caldey ASL
Terre D'Hermes ASB

The shave:
(pics taken by my brother)










The result:

An excellent, smooth shave with the added luxury of being outside. Can you beat that?
Next time I won't do it in the direct sunlight, though. It irritates/burns my sensitive skin a bit while shaving, the lather dies out and the visibility is not that good with all these reflecting walls around.

Have a nice sunday!

 

That looks really great! Maybe something for my afternoon shave, weather permitting...
