Merry Xmas everyone.. I've really been looking forward to this shave as 'Le Maurice 1.0' really did exceed my expectations.. I knew it was going to be good, but I must admit to being slightly surprised by just how thorough and smooth it really was.. It really does shave like a dream..

 

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Cella Shave Soap
Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger
Gillette New Standard
Gillette Silver Blue
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Cella After Shave Balm

The Cella Shave Soap was face-lathered well with Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette New Standard and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
