Sunday

Evening, everyone.

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: Daiso T Type Dispo Razor (2)
Blade:
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave soap: Kell's Hemp and Aloe Energy
Aftershave: Pashana Bay Rum
Cologne: Rive Gauche

Two good shaves with the all-metal, disposable, injector-style razor sold at most Y100 shops. It's pretty aggressive so a very gentle hand is needed but it shaves very close.
 
Let's see how this goes. My first and possibly only entry for a while, since I'm a creature of habit. A very classic setup for me:

Edwin Jagger DE89 razor
Gillette 7o'clock sharp edge (Yellows) blade
Arko shaving soap stick
New Forest 2204 Super Badger Two Band
Double base as a face wash with warm water after shaving - 10 splashes
Cold water rinse - 10 splashes
Supadrug Forest Fresh Aftershave - 13 drops
Nivea Aftershave balm.

One pass with the grain. And two passes across the grain in opposite directions. Touch up around the goatee area. I'm posting today as my wife complemented me on an excellent shave, so it must have been good :icon_razz:
