Today, a 100% Iberian shave!



pre hot towel + Álvarez Gómez Barbería shaving cream + Vie&Long 16454 Best + Maravilla blue razor with Filomatic #1 + Brummel splash + Álvarez Gómez Barbería cologne

I strongly recommend this shaving cream: a creamy mousse with excellent properties and scent!

Cheers!

Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Gillette thermal scrub pre-shave
Soap: NSS Vanilla (soft)
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Brush: Omega boar 10005
Razor: Muhle R41 rosegold (2013)
Blade: Sputnik (2)
After: Aqua Velva Musk AS, T&H No.10 ASB

Last few attempts to get any joy from this R41. The results are close but getting there is too much hassle for me so I think this razor will be moving on soon.
For me my Weber, ATT and Progress all outperform my R41.

NSS vanilla is wonderful to use as always; like shaving with warm ice cream.
Results BBS but with irritation on the neck.

Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.

Gillette Rocket with a Bolzano Superinox stainless steel blade.
New Forrest brush
Kiehl's Lite Flite cream (still not keen on the scent but it really looks after the skin afterwards)
KoS oil

Used my Super Speed with a blade I got as a freebie with a purchase, thought it was going to be a little blunt at firt but it was a really good shave. Very forgiving.
Might have to search around for some more of them.

Not posted a SOTD for a while so here goes. Christened the Hoffritz Slant and it went fab, three passes, I was quite cautious as its a new razor for me and my first slant too so not cuts or weepers - the blade/razor combination gave a more thorough shave than I normally get - no single hair stragglers at all so minimal tidying up - BBS and went out for a bracing walk with Mrs R after.

Towel soak with some Proraso Pre-Post
Cella Bowl Lathered
Rubberset 400-3 2 Band Best Badger
Hoffritz slant
Feather (1)
Myrsol

I could get used to this slant thing
