Thursday 20th September PM
Prep: Warm rinse with Nivea Sensitive Face Wash then Proraso Sensitive Pre Shave cream
Soap: Wickham Buddha Wood
Brush: Executive Shaving Medium Jock synthetic
Razor: Gillette Fatboy
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock Sharp Edge
Post: Cold rinse, Thayers Witch Hazel with Cucumber followed by BartsBalm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine.
This is the longest I've had between shaves since I started DE shaving in July. It wasn't through choice, just long hours at work.
With 3 days growth and the evening to myself, I was looking forward to tonight's shave. I chose the Fatboy as my weapon of choice and armed it with a fresh 7 O'clock yellow blade. No significant change in my prep and the 2nd outing with the Wickham Buddha Wood soap. The scent is really growing on me and the soap certainly provides a nice slick lather. There's a lovely subtle rose note and this just sets the mood - relaxing. The blade glided without any complaint and the after feel from the lather is great.
My first WTG pass was one of the best in a long time. Effortless and enjoyable. A lovely sound came from the blade and as I rinsed the smoothness was surprising to say the least. Areas were just short of BBS on most of my face.
A quick lather and 2nd pass XTG had my neck and most of my face finished. A 3rd and final ATG pass only around the goatee area and I was silky smooth. No need for any pickups.
A hit of Thayers and small amount of Barts Balm and I was done. A great finish this evening, if I don't say so myself! There's no doubt that the more growth I have the smoother, closer and more enjoyable shave I have. I just can't live with stubble! Go figure!?!
Have a great evening folks! [emoji1303]
