Prep ~ Shower, Birch tar soap
Razor ~ MMOC
Blade ~ ER Courrx
Soap ~ Stirling ~ Texas On Fire
Brush ~ "The Grosvenor" Bristle & Badger
Post ~ BBA Post shave balm
Scent ~ Boellis Panama 1924 edt

A close shave with my converted MMOC (to take Courrx blades).
Fab scent from this love it or hate it soap applied with the Grosvenor, a great mixed hair brush, was left clean shaven without nicks or irritation, perfect. A good spray of Boellis Panama and I was good to go.

Enjoy the Bank Holliday folks. P.

I haven't used this plate for a while and yes there was less than a days stubble to remove but I love the smooth way the Sabre goes about its job.
It really is a "Good" Friday when it feels like a Saturday.
Happy Shaving one and all.
 
Friday 30th March

RSC Facial Scrub
Vitos Pre Shave Cream
OSP Barbershop Cream
Giles Shaving Co Bowl
Yaqi 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic Brush
Baili Tech with a Treet Tez Carbon Steel Blade
Alum Block and Rinse
Lacura Moisturiser
Epsilon Blue AS

A few 'firsts' in today's shave.
First use of the OSP cream. I normally prefer soaps and this one was ordered in error. It worked really well and I just love the scent
The Baili Tech was ordered some time back. I liked the shorter handle, and for £4 delivered it was a 'no-brainer'. It turns out that this little razor actually shaves very well. I would say efficiency is somewhere between the Gillette tech I used to have and the Feather Portable I currently have.
The Epsilon Blue is a lovely aftershave. The menthol kick at the end came as a surprise. Its not overpowering....but leaves the face feeling very refreshed:)

Three passes and a little touch up for a really enjoyable and smooth shave.

Morning shave.

Olive Oil Soap
SMN Crema Da Barba

Little Wren Pottery
Rockwell 6c
Polsilver SI (1)
Thayers Witch Hazel (unscented)
RazoRock Santa Maria Del Fiore Aftershave
SMN Tabacco Toscano EDC

After a meeting near Piccadilly (no, not that sort of meeting!) I though I might as well pop in to the Santa Maria Novella store on Piccadilly Arcade. Of course, I left the store 20 minutes later a couple of hundred quid worse off. The cream is lovely. And so it should be for the price. But the cologne is sublime. As a rule I generally like to blame my expensive shaving related purchases on someone else - as @Digimonkey knows only too well. So this time I would like to lay the blame firmly at the door of @Scotshave. Cheers Stephen! A wonderfully self-indulgent shave. Have a great holiday weekend gents.
