Pre Jason Therapy + Figaro shaving cream + Omega Nº45 boar + Maravilla razor with Derby + Figaro splash

Today, a barbershop scent shave! I like this Figaro hungarian range and it is cheap but you need to help a bit the shaving cream with a good Pre like this American one!

Cheers!

I Coloniali Shave Soap
Aveeno Post Shave Balm
Old Spice Cologne
Becker Scuttle

The I Coloniali is fabulous. Incredible lather building which is very slick and makes shaving a real treat.
 
Razor: R89 Rose Gold w/ Feather
Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Best
Soap: Synergy HTGAM Meta Nectar
Post: Synergy HTGAM ASB Coconut Bay

First time using this Synergy soap and balm. The Meta Nectar is great, I already have the Lime scent but this one seems more subtle and slightly sweeter; lovely. The balm has a very strong scent that really lasts. The smell is not that appealing and is actually overbearing, giving me a bit of a headache. Applying it after shaving felt like throwing raw alcohol on your face. I use aftershave occasional and am used to a slight stinging but this was ridiculous. I will say that has a nice consistency and the stinging didn't result in any redness. I think I will use it after a shower not stop my skin drying out, but proberly not again post-shave.
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage butterscotch Simpsons best
'Webly'/Personna74 (NOS)
Xpec SC
LaToja Balsamo AS (thanks Dr Frank)
Caron 'Yatagan' EdT(new juice)

Maybe the 6th shave with this blade and it's like new. This shaving cream is pretty damn good......performs as well as a top soap and lathers like a rabid St Bernard. Man, Caron makes some nice frags, especially for the price point. Heh, I would pay more for this just to have it around.

BBS results,

Martin
