Pre-shave: Cold water splash.
Soap: Martin de Candre Fougere.
Brush: Muhle Silvertip Fiber.
Razor: Blackland Tradere - OC.
Blade: Astra SP (Green) (Day 3).
Post: Cold water splash - Clairns Blue Orchid Face Oil, followed by Musgo Real No.4 Lavender Cologne .
A very enjoyable shave this morning; I thought about simple, classic sents - decided I wanted to finish off with the Musgo Lavender and after some thought decided to start off with MDC
A DFS+ finish with no issues to report, after 2 passes: WTG and XTG - If time allowed, I would have went for a second XTG pass. No roughness/tugging with the Astra SP, but on feeling my face there was a tad more stubble post shave - making me think that the blade has lost somr of its cutting edge. Anyway, no complaints; another very smooth and comfortable shave with the Blackland Tradere.
The Blue Orchid face oil is lovely - feels dare I say, luxurious, and a great scent - like a beauty spa in a bottle. A good splash of Musgo Lavender to finish off.
My thoughts on today's shave - very enjoyable, not just in the execution, but in giving some prior thought to what I wanted from the shave, in terms of clean scents, from the software.
Hoping everyone had a great day.
All the best,
Chris
