Night time is the right time. Or Saturday night fever. Or something.
Semogue 820 boar
Gothic Revival soap, splash and balm. Razorock Hawk V3A and a Schick Proline P-30 on its 5th outing. Maybe I was too quick to dismiss this blade. The last 2 shaves in the Hawk with this have been smooth and error free when used with a good soap like Saponificio Varesino Dolomiti or Wickham Gothic Revival. A lovely evening shave to wind down with after going to see the fireworks with my godson, who proudly announced that he'd just had his first shave (with a Gillette cart...) and wanted me to stroke his face to check the quality LOL! He was probably BBS before the shave bless him, but at over 6' he is pretty big for his age. My first mission was to remove 40h of stubble to get my phisog as smooth as his, which the above shave delivered. Now I just need to corrupt him into proper shave gear.
And here is a lazily and unimaginatively composed photo of the gear in question
But at least there's a nice colour theme going on. I smell far too good to be going to bed now.
