    Shave of the day

    Pre- Hot shower, Olive oil bath soap
    Soap/cream- Proraso Green tea and Oat shaving soap (sample)
    Brush- Loccitane Plisson Synthetic
    Razor- WEBER PH all stainless steel
    Blade- Astra SP (2)
    Post- Cold water rinse, Proraso eucalyptus and menthol aftershave lotion and Proraso green tea and oat aftershave balm

    Oh, this razor is so effective! When I bought it I used it a few times but I forgot how well it shaves. I'm gonna stick to this razor for a while now and really figure it out.

    Proraso white is to good! I only have a sample but I'm sure gonna get it some day. It's a great performer. The white balm is also very nice, moisturizing. I really like it. The green lotion gave a very nice menthol chill. A great and balanced chill.

    All in all a very nice shave. Proraso always delivers great shaves.

    ***COMPLETED***
    30-Day Focus - Blade Trials for Gillette Tech

    Day 5 of 7-day Vacation on
    Mayne Island, British Columbia, Canada
    48.8450° N, 123.2808° W
    Island climate, island time, island life.

    My wife and I celebrate 29 years of marriage today!

    She likes the Island Man scent so I used the face rub application technique again. Also changed to the original "Detente" set-up (as per @NCoxSTL ) with the Aristocrat razor (USA) and the Voskhod blade (from the formerly known as USSR).

    3-pass shave started off very rough.
    Naw, this can't be? I've got Voskhod and the Aristocrat!
    Say it aint so Neal?!

    Then I realized - I didn't close the doors fully! (dang new-fangled TTOs - where's my old fashioned 3-piece?!)

    So I cleared the room of all participants except for the primaries, locked the doors and moved thru the 2nd and 3rd pass with ease. Reached for the Schick Golden 500 (gotta have a Closer for any major deal, right?)

    I usually use the 500 just for the trim around the mustache and goatee. But things had gone so well after my initial stumble that I went on the chase with it!

    Gotcha! All cleaned up for the anniversary!

    We have a Weber Rocky Mountain smoker here on the island, so we've got baby backs and spare ribs stacked in the smoker while we kick back.

    We're all having a whale of a good time!

    Hope you all are too!
    Enjoy your shaves!

    Ahoy!
