French Pink Clay & Charcoal Face Soap
Meissner Tremonia 'Natural White' Bay & Rum
DSC w/Blonde Boar 25mm
RazoRock German Slant w/RazoRock HD Handle
Treet Platinum (4)
Jovan Musk Aftershave Cologne
Back to the 'Natural White' variant of this, now years old pre-market test candidate soap from Meissner Tremonia. The formula is based on olive oil and delivers a lighter lather than I like so popped a blob of Vicco Turmeric Shave Cream underneath.
The lather was glorious!
Two passes and that's as close as I like to get to BBS.
The shave was glorious!
Splash of Jovan Musk. You know, 90% of the time, it works every time ...
The scent was glorious!

Bit of a late upload tonight but a fantastic shave with my newly honed TI Art of Shaving @RussellR5555 a little different to my other Evide Sonnant TI but this one is 5/8 compared to the 6/8 so it’s a fair bit lighter..a super close, smooth and comfortable shave I’m delighted with the result ! Also used the very kindly gifted proraso red shaving cream which I really like the scent it’s wonderful and took me by surprise as I actually much prefer it to the white..thank you Russ I really appreciate it had a very enjoyable shave this evening feeling smooth and refreshed
