Prep: Hot shower, No7 Men Energising Face Wash
Pre: Cold water splash
Brush: Vulfix Brute
Soap: QCS Vostok
Razor: Standard (Black)
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge #3
Post: Lucky Tiger After Shave & Face Wash, Kiehl's Ultimate ASB

Result: Final outing for this team. What's next? Enjoyed the Vostok... it certainly has menthol, but I want more, if truth be known. Has nice properties though and skin has felt nice and soft all week long.

Happy 4th of July to our ex-Colonial friends. I've had the pleasure of spending two Independence Days across the pond - one in Boston, one in San Francisco and had a great day each time.

True BBS all over for a change,

Pre: Noxzema cleanser
Brush: Semogue 1800
Cream: SuperMax Classic 3
Razor: R41 (2013)
Blade: SuperMax Blue diamond
AS: Speick splash

Don't know about this shaving cream, I can't say there is anything special about it, very utilitarian lather on the thin side and you need about 3 pea size blob to get you to anything close to the Arkolive stick.

For £0.79 it does the job but not much slickness or cushioning. Second pass completed with Simpsons Sandalwood cream, now this is one hell of a cream that does justice with the R41 bite.
