SOTD : Saturday 25th April - Friday 01 May 2020

The Sunday shave. Today I wanted to carry on with the citrus theme and so I reached for TFS Rasozero Agrumella which is a lemon citrus accord. Great soap and in true TFS fashion the scent is nice and strong. Decided to use some of the pre-shave also which is just more of that citrus scent!

Razor of choice the 56-58 A'crat Jr from an English No. 58 set. A beautiful looking and shaving razor. Minty and cased. Loaded up with a fresh Gillette Silver Blue.

Heavenly three pass BBS shave. Finished up with a spritz of Acqua di Parma Colonia. Perfect. Enjoy your Sunday and stay safe.

Nice smooth, simple half 12 on a Sunday night kinda shave! Although very effective with this Executive Shaving Braveheart head, no nicks but super close!

3 Passes for a comfortable BBS finish.
A great lather from the Cheap Arko stick, i bloomed about 5 small chips Flattened in the bottom of the Turkish copper bowl. I shook out as much of the water as possible from the RR400 then let the brush soak up the bloom water before whisking up. It worked a treat.
I am pretty sure the blade would go again, however, 5 shaves from 1 blade, i am happy with that. Once i have got used to the blade characteristics for me, it works really well.
A nice post shave leaving me soft, supple and smelling really nice.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.
