WEDNESDA EVENING

Prep: Cold rinse
Razor: Olympic Schick L type
Blade: Chick
Brush: Frank Purtech
Soap: Irisch Moos stick - face lathered
After: Witch hazel

Much better result tonight. Gave a lighter touch and a much better finish was the result.

Am loving this brush. It may well end up being one of my favourites. It works brilliantly on everything so far. Haven't tried bowl lathering a cream so maybe try that next.

Excellent. Second time with this blade and razor combo and it's super-smooth and gives a close shave. I need more than two passes but my skin is no worse for it
