Change of pace shave, as one crazed ex-colonial calls them.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

ebony Brush By Brian
'Webly'/Wilkinson Light Brigade (NOS)
Xpec unscented SC flavored with TGQ Leatherneck extrait
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
No EdT for some reason

Whew doggies, this here's a nice old Limey blade. My 4th shave and man is this thing smooth and sharp. So damn forgiving it's like using a cartridge.

Heh, I gave up adding the extrait, fearing it would dilute the ounce of cream. Sheesh, after 21 tiny drops there's just a slight scent to the mix. The heck with it. Meanwhile, it lathers like crazy and performs like a top tier soap. This brush really whips up a lather amazingly easy.

All in all, pretty darn fun shave.

BBS results,

Martin

Very good indeed. The Paul Smith seems to embody the scent of summer somehow and this BiC blade just keeps on going. :D
