Greetings,

Early Morning Shave,

The the Proraso Blue cream which created a nice creamy slick protective lather with only a small amount in a short space of time The residual slickness is excellent leaving a superb post-shave from the addition of the Aloe Vera and vitamin E making my mature rhino type skin feeling soft & moisturized.

Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of Nivea soft moisturiser.

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

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Great start to the Tuesday

 

Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Semogue Excelsior 1305
Cobra Classic
Feather Artist Club Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Semogue Excelsior 1305 Boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Cobra Classic razor and the Feather Artist Club Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tuesday morning:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Wilkinson day 14
Arko Shaving Stick
Prep ASB
Pinaud Bay Rum AS Splash

The last time I used Arko was around two years ago so I decided to go with it this morning and I’m happy I did because it’s such an awesome soap. I love the clean soapy scent, it lathered beautifully, and it gave me a very comfortable postshave feeling that the Prep enhanced. Finally a couple of splashes of Pinaud Bay Rum and that’s it, that’s all. The Wilkinson blade reached the end of the road but it gave me one last hoorah with a great three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Wishing you all a good day - be well and stay safe!
