Pre....Shower, BBA Shave oil
Razor....Iwasaki Kamisori 60mm
Soap....BBA Shave Butter
Post...BBA Post Shave Balm
EDC...Bravado, solid cologne by Alfred Lane

I thought I would give the shave butter another go but this time with a Kamisori, no clogging of the razor this time and it provided plenty of protection and glide leaving me with a face as smooth as the butter itself. The post shave balm really is fab and my skin feels great afterwards. A rub of the solid cologne here and there and I'm done!

Have a great weekend people.......:)

Pre Shave: Hot Shower, L'Oreal Pure Power Face Wash and Proraso White
Razor: iKon El Jefe + iKon SE handle
Blade: Feather Soft Guard (#1)
Brush: Kent BLK4
Soap: Kent
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Humphrey's Witch Hazel
AS: Roger & Gallet L'Homme Sport balm

Very odd shaving experience today with the Feather Soft Guard blade, first pass felt like it was pulling the stubble out of my face, a very uncomfortable experience. I almost gave up but decided to see how a second pass would fare, taking it very easy the second pass was slightly better. By the third pass it felt a lot better but still tugging, against the grain was actually the most comfortable. The end result was a close shave, not as close as other SE blades have given. I will give this blade a try in my General and my Razorock Hawk to see how it compares, but I can safely say that I will not use this blade in the El Jefe again, no shave should take that much concentration and effort.
