Greetings,

A great comfortable shave to finish my shaving week off.

The dependable Palmolive classic shave cream provided a slick protective lather in a short space of time.... When ever I mention to family and friends that 'I still wear Denim' I get some vague interesting looks and comments....Not that this concerns me in the slightest, the younger chaps that I work with don't understand the greatness of Denim which is a pity, but it's their loss if they can't appreciate a classic 'Old School' fragrance...That's my excuse anyway.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Denim Original ASL.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Prep: Hot towel
Razor: Weber ARC
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Simpsons (Somerset) Duke 3 Best
Soap: Los Jabones de Joserra: Sweet & Dandy
Post: CeraVe moisturising lotion..
Fragrance: Dapper 1959 by Alexandria Fragrances
a wonderful shave.. in fact it was very Sweet & Dandy..

 

Thursday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Frank Mini Synthetic
Super Speed/Derby day 4
Delmy SS
Prep ASB
Booster Polar Ice AS Splash
Aramis EdT

This Delmy soap is so nicely scented - it smells like a real old school barbershop and although the container is so tiny, my cute little Frank Mini synthetic worked up a huge amount of lather very quickly. The slickness is pretty good also and it’s fairly good in the skincare department - in India where it’s from it so sells for so little. The Prep replenished the moisture in my face afterwards, and the Polar Ice aftershave gave me its delightful barbershop scent along with a comfortable postshave feeling. Finally the gorgeous Aramis fragrance topped it all off. Two passes did the job for me - a brilliant BBS shave that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Be well and safe - see you all tomorrow!
