SOTD : Saturday 25th August - Friday 31st August 2018

First time with Omega Via Barberia Herbae. Lathers well, and great clean after-shave feel to the face. Scent is very floral, though not strong, slightly sweeter than I expected but in view of the excellent performance I'm good with this. I gather that the other two in the range - Fructi and Aquae - have more popular scents. Not expensive so a recommendation at the price. Parker DE butterfly razor w. Astra blade and best badger brush.Screen Shot 2018-08-25 at 17.19.34.png

Prep: Warm shower, Original Source Mint and Tea Tree shower gel followed by Nivea Sensitive Face Wash then Proraso Pre Shave cream Eucalyptus and Menthol
Soap: Proraso Eucalyptus and Menthol
Brush: Executive Shaving Medium Jock synthetic
Razor: Schick Adjustable Injector
Blade: Schick Injector (2)
Post: Cold rinse, Thayers Witch Hazel with Cucumber, Brut aftershave then Proraso Eucalyptus and Menthol balm.

A refreshing afternoon shower and shave. The mint/menthol approach has certainly woke me and my skin up!

After last nights finish with the Schick dialled right down to the No. 1 setting, this is how I approached today's shave.

It seems to have worked well!

A few weepers by the end, including the nick I gave myself last night, but these cleared up during my cold water rinse.

I'm happy with the final result but I defo prefer my 34c for comfort and finish.

I'll rest the Schick for the time being but it's been a good learning experience. It needs a bit more concentration and experimenting, maybe try a few more settings, but I'll give myself time to settle back into my usual routine before having another go.

Have a great Saturday night folks! Time for a half! [emoji482]

Definitely persevere. It's a fantastic razor and blade combo when you get the technique cracked.
