SOTD 15 November 2020
Pre-shave: Cold water splash.
Soap: Arko Shaving Stick.
Brush: Muhle Silvertip Fiber.
Razor: Blackland Tradere - OC.
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (Day 3).
Post: Cold water splash - Fonex Vire-X Turkish Lemon Cologne, and Hellenic Aloe Vera Gel.
Switched on the radio this morning, and forgot that the Turkish F1 Grand Prix was on; settled down with a coffee to listen; post race I decided to go for a Turkish themed shave.
Arko shaving stick - was not a fan when I first used it, but whilst on holiday in Antalya this year, I managed to get some (although that was difficult - most shops only sold Arko shaving cream in an aerosol). Lovely lather, odd scent, which grows - but great performance, shave and post skin feel.
I was dubious about using the Vire-X as a post shave splash, wit hthe 80% alcohol, I was expecting some feedback as soon as I applied, but no.
The Blackland Tradere, again was excellent - a 2 pass WTG and XTG with no issues to report. However, went for a walk with SWMBO and some redness on the lawline when after we ventured outdoors in the bracing wind an rain, a dab of Origins Fire Fighter, and all was good in the world.
After today's shave, I'm thinking of having a themed shave for each F1 GP - although I think the Bahrain GP in 2 weeks time will be a struggle.
I hope everyone is well,
Chris
