I completed my 2 pass shave routine giving me a no issue DFS+ Finish.
Some minor indication on the neck from the the Alum Rub, although nothing to shout about ;), I have started to use the L'oreal Ice Impact for the bathroom splash as my Bay Rum #1 is now done, its very nice and seems to feed the skin, i will see how it goes.
A nice post shave leaving me clean, soft and smelling fresh.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

First shave since Friday, as I've had some flu symptoms and was far too fatigued to shave. Not out of the woods yet but needed to clean up my face, feeling better for it too.

Have a good day gents.
Hopefully not the Kung flu and have to get tested and possibly quarantined, best wishes for speedy recovery.
 
Tabac Tuesday

Pre - Shower / Face wash
Soap - Tabac
Brush - GFT Best badger
Razor - Merkur 34G
Blade - Treet Platinum (3)
Post - Kouros AS followed by moisturiser

I look forward to using Tabac, it gets a great lather. The scent could possibly be too much using it everyday. A nice two and half pass shave this morning. Just a shame I don't go anywhere to show off my smooth face at the moment.

"No words - apart from these - hence why this part of the post is in parenthesis - I don't want you to think this out loud - resist your internal monologue - a Zen shave - a mindfulness shave - the sound of one hand shaving - even better when - I move to Italics - that's whispering? A top end shave - and totally devoid of ego - Freud was an idiot - Jungian archetypes are a much better idea. For @Satanfriendly - enjoy yours - I."

Back in the room - we can shave or not - each to their own - let's not make a fuss about it. It can be done well or badly - I'd like to think - most of us do it well - takes time - to learn the craft. It is not a marketing opportunity. Our collective - vast - experience is not something to be monetised.
