Pre-shave:- Warm rinse / Nivea Sensitive Face Wash / Proraso Red Pre-shave cream / Hot flannel to the face
Brush:- Stirling Soap Company Finest Badger
Soap/Cream:- TOBS Rose cream
Razor/Blade:- OneBlade Genesis / Feather FHS (2)
Post-shave:- Thayers Cucumber / Epsilon Blue aftershave / Bart's Balm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine balm
I'm finding a hot flannel (face cloth) on my face is making a difference to my shave. It's a relaxing feeling with the pre-shave cream applied and a hot flannel over the top. I'm even using it between passes and during my post clean up when I'm doing a face wash with the left over lather. Great!
However, tonight I was lazy and picked up the Genesis. I managed a 2nd shave with the FHS blade and there were no signs it was dulling.
I also used the TOBS rose shaving cream which I've had for a while but never used. It gave a great lather but the slickness seemed to disappear immediately after each stroke with the razor.
But regardless, this was a great shave. That feeling when your face lights up when you splash on the Epsilon is one of the best! It dies within seconds but that tingling feeling lasts for a good 10 minutes.
Fresh, smooth and feeling divine. The samples of the test scents arrived today too! The Oud Intense is top of the tree, but I'm not wasting them by wearing them in the house.
A report on the scents will be appearing shortly but by Christ they're good.
Have a great evening folks. [emoji1303]
