20161121_205929.jpgGreetings All...
Back to DE for a wee while.

Cream - TOBS Sandalwood
Brush - Edwin Jagger Medium Best Badger
Face lather
Razor - 1960s English aluminium Tech
Blade - Schick w/Krona Edge DE #3
Post-Thayer's and Proraso Sandalwood a/s
Smell - Guerlain Habit Rouge EdP

Nice and smooth this morning. 3 outings is probably optimum for the NOS Schick blade. Great wee razors, the Techs; especially with an efficient blade.

Have a great one, guys.

The Blue's soap is virtually unscented so ideal for scent spiking. Olbas Oil is quite high in Eucalyptus and Mint essential oils. About 4 drops in the lather bowl worked fine. It has a cooling effect and sure clears the sinuses.
My Rocnel technique improves with each shave. Rapidly becoming a favourite in my razor rotation.

Shave well!!!

Razor...Ever Ready Lightweight
Blade...Gem #1
Soap...Tabac
Brush...Semogue 1305
Post...Thayers Lavender AF
EDC...Tabac

My first use with the lightweight and I have to say it was nothing short of fantastic , much like using the G Bar, gave me a really close shave without irritation, those Gem blades are great.
The Semogue 1305 whipped up a wonderful lather from the Tabac soap as expected, it's a great little brush.

Wishing you well.

Another great smooth shave this morning. Three passes and minimal touch ups provided a nearly perfect shave with the exception of that one spot on my neck. I finished off the shave with a splash of Floid Blue. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.
