Sunday 2nd September PM
Prep: Hot shower with with Bulldog Original face wash then a small amount of lather rubbed into my stubble
Cream: Alvarez Gomez Barberia
Brush: Executive Shaving Medium Jock synthetic
Razor:Merkur 34c
Blade: Gillette Super Stainless (2)
Post: Cold rinse, Thayers Witch Hazel with Cucumber followed by Boots Freshwood aftershave then Alvarez Gomez Barberia balm (sample....now finished [emoji30]).
I'm off to pastures new tomorrow. Still doing the same job but starting/joining a new team. I‘d like to set a good example, so tonight wanted a good shave. I did think about doing it tomorrow morning, but I don't like leaving things to the last minute, just in case Murphy's Law decides to make an appearance!
I started with the Bulldog Original face wash which SWMBO bought me yesterday. It certainly leaves my face feeling clean but the scent is very clinical. Very antiseptic and plastic. It performs well, the scent just isn't to my liking.
I then lathered up the Alvarez Gomez Barberia cream which is the best of the soaps/creams I have. I was introduced to this by The Executive Shaving Company, with @Digimonkey then kindly gifting me a tub after he saw my enthusiasm with it. The scent is really nice with a good citrusy tone. The glide it gives the razor is excellent and the slickness after each pass is really noticeable. If I don't wash my hands before the next pass I can't hold the razor!
I used a small amount of lather as a pre shave and rubbed this into my stubble. Then lathered with the brush for a good few minutes. Simple and enjoyable with the scent.
The 3 pass shave went without incident - WTG, XTG and ATG. I good finish which I'm really happy with. No concerns for tomorrow!
A face wash with the left over lather, tidy up, cold rinse then splash of Thayers. My skin was feeling tight, smooth and refreshed. A quick splash with Boots Freshwood aftershave then the remnants of my Alvarez Gomez Barberia balm sample and I was done. I'm defo getting more of this balm as it matches the lather in performance, and more importantly scent.
A good happy shave with a good smooth result. Roll on a new start tomorrow.
All the best folks. [emoji482]
