The Hyperion Experience
11uhy8k.jpg


Prep: Hot wash with dove soap.
Soap: Professor Blightys Hyperion.
Brush: Vie-long Horse hair.
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89
Blade: Crystal Stainless Steel #1
Post: Professor Blightys Hyperion post shave tonic.

Whenever I find a soap that lathers easily I am surprised, then every so often I come back to the Professor Blighty range and it always amazes me how easily this lathers 20 swirls with a wet brush produces more than enough lather for a 3 pass plus touch up shave like today. WTG, XTG and ATG with some jhooking on the chin crease and stubborn stubble on my neck. First time I have tries j hooking and it worked a treat on my chin crease and improved reduction on my neck. The Crystal SS blades were sent to me by a friend in the USA and I have to say they are very smooth and caused no irritation. I finished off my shave with a good splash of Professor Blightys Hyperion post shave tonic.

Very enjoyable experience this morning.
