Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Santa Maria Novella pre-shave
Soap: Grandstaff Kokum & Mango butter
Brush: Omega boar 10005
Razor: Gillette Red Tip
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
After: Barbershop Bay Rum, St. James Mandarin & Patchouli ASB
All the ingredients mixed really well this morning. Not much of a fan of Silver Blue blades but matched with this Red Tip razor brought out the best of both partners. Lovely close shave which I don't usually get with the Red Tip.
Started off face lathering and it was great for the first pass but ran out of soap after the first pass so had to load again for the second pass and build on my face again. This boar is a little too stiff for building a face lather twice but it didn't seem to make my face sore. For the third pass I built lather in the bowl. I wish I'd just done my usual bowl lathering now.
Great post shave conditioning and set for the day. Have a good one folks.
