    Two pass shave last night with the Slim, after a quick practise on my cheeks with the straight.

    Soho Joe Original Face Wash
    Omega Pro49
    Catie's Bubbles Conneticut Shade
    Grah and Plumacher "The GOTTA"
    Gillette Slim Adjustable
    A little alum and
    L'Oreal Men Expert Birch Sap Balm

    Dared to venture just below the jawline and paid for it with a decent scratch from the straight. Finished next 2 passes with DE but didn't push it with some areas near the jaw where I'd cut it. Not the best shave I've had.

    We're having frigid weather and a blizzard so Glacial menthol is out of the question, but I still got a very nice chill from the Arko Ice Mint cream along with its lovely scent and tons of lather for a great BBS shave. The Lucky Tiger balm did its part with the cooling, soothing effect and that Fougere Santal aftershave from Reef Point smells absolutely gorgeous!

    Have a terrific weekend!

    Its crazy that they can survive THAT long in such good condition. I think that's my single favourite thing about straights and DE's over modern shaving tools

    (Edit; if I had to pick just ONE thing ;))

    Fougere Friday
    My cheeks feel amazing, but I did get a couple of weepers on my neck. The scent is one of my favorites. A friend gifted me this stand, which I recently rediscovered while looking through some boxes from our last move. It fits the brush perfectly.
    Prep: PAA Cube
    Soap: B&M Beaudelaire
    Brush: Wild West Go Green
    Razor: Rockwell 6sR6
    Blade: voskhod
    AS: B&M Beaudelaire, Van Yulay Ylang-Zu Balm
