Prep ~ Shower, D.R. Harris Almond Oil Soap
Razor ~ Blackland ~ Sabre L2
Blade ~ Gem Stainless
Soap ~ London Oatcake Shaving Soap - Sample
Brush ~ Omega 011842 Boar
Post ~ Thayers
Scent ~ Guerlain ~ Jicky edp

I received a sample of London Oatcake Shaving Soap from a fellow member, thanks S. So I thought I would give it a try this morning. The first scent I noticed before lathering was nutmeg but as was I lathering I was also getting other spices as well as creamy oatmeal and some other stuff I couldn't put my finger on but it was a very pleasant scent.
It lathered with ease and produced a good stable creamy lather, good stuff and did I mention its got tallow in it as well, I've placed my order. :)
The Shave was a good one, clean shaven and a very good post shave feel from the soap.

Wishing you all a fabulous Friday.....P.
That Sabre is a lovely looking bit of kit, P.

Fri 17th Aug
RazoRock Syn. 24mm
P & B Citra Royale
Alu. General + ES S/S Handle
Schick Proline [ 4 ]
Tuff Green A/S Lotion

Since changing the handle on the Alu General, to one from my Claymore I have enjoyed using it more, even though I prefer heavier AC/SE Razors. Today I had such a good Shave that my thoughts of selling it on were put on hold, Smooth ,Comfortable with a good close all round finish,

I got an excellent lather from the P & B Citra Royale, which I used for the first time. It has a very nice summery scent and is very easy to lather, so will replace my occasionally used Arran Aromatics Bay Citrus.

Prep: Warm shower, Nivea Sensitive Face Wash then Proraso Pre Shave Cream Eucalyptus and Menthol.
Cream: Nivea Sensitive
Brush: Executive Shaving Medium Jock synthetic
Razor: Merkur 34c
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock Super Stainless (3)
Post: Cold rinse, Thayers Witch Hazel with Cucumber then Nivea 2 Phase followed by Nivea Sensitive After Shave Balm and EAD Divulge EdT.

A morning shave for a change and I decided to go with another Nivea theme.

A bit of a carry-on movie when I looked at how much lather I had made....turned into a foam fest in the ensuite. The lather was nice and slick with the blade gliding without complaint.

A straightforward 3 pass (WTG, XTG and ATG) shave with some pickups.

After a final rinse I was really pleased with a BBS finish. No rough patches.

On with the Thayers, Nivea 2 Phase (a very slight and quick sting) then Nivea balm. Skin feels fresh and smooth. Finished with my bargain buy EAD Divulge EdT which cost me a whole 70p.

A good start for the weekend ahead. Have a great one folks! [emoji482]
