Afternoon Everyone:
Today's agenda:
Bath, long soak and Clinique Face Scrub, followed by Bulldog moisturiser, then a wet face to which Proraso pre-shave was applied.
Brush: Omega 'Mixed Midget'
Soap: Saponificio Verasino Tundra Artica (sample)
Face lather; cold water between passes and razor rinsing
Razor: 1960s English Tech
Blade: Feather #2
Post: Thayer's, Proraso Pre-Shave
After Shave: Fine Platinum
Music: David Sylvian 'River Man'
Nice. Again, a combination of a mild razor and sharp blades really does the job. I like the Fine too...there's definetly a hint of Creed's Aventus in there; but I much prefer the Platinum. I can't justify Creed's cost. Which is a pity, because if Silver Mountain Water had anything like the longevity afforded by its price, I'd never run out.
Anyway, I digress; sorry. Great shave, lovely soap (sample still going strong) and skin suitably dolphin-esque.
Be well, folks ☺.
Indeed. My last visit was to replace my beloved No.89.It would be very dangerous for me to visit their shop, but I would love to do so someday.
Thanks @Sylviansghost. ☺☺Good choice of music
Love the brush number six.
Very nice pic...but whilst you were in mid-shave, didn't it distract you when the police turned up to talk you down off that balcony?
Beautiful butterscotch.
Makes my 1912 look positively mediocre! Lovely razor and brush, and a really good pic (not big fan of Bay Rum though...maybe I associate the smell cloves with toothache!)Thursday 25th
Star 1912 w GEM Stainless #6
Always a super close shave with a 1912. Especially this beauty. James's prototype soap this time provided a great accompaniment.
Good shaves everyone !!!
Maybe they just appreciate the lengths some people will go to to get a great photo!Hi mate, thank you. Don't worry, Police is not serious here...
