One of those shaves when everything just falls into place.
I'm always convinced that good preparation makes for a good shave. Taking my time this evening I kept things basic but thorough. A good wash of my face followed by a good rub of Proraso green pre-shave. The menthol was just what the Doctor ordered.
Also taking my time with the TOBS peppermint resulted in a rich thick creamy lather that added to the refreshing feeling.
My Rockwell 6c sits in the back of my razor drawer as I feel it doesn't perform as well as some other weapons in my arsenal. However this evening I tried out the R5 plate and although I could feel the extra bite this was giving the blade, it still provided a smooth and very efficient result. 3 passes were faultless and my skin dolphin smooth.
Adding a quick splash of Thayers and a dot of Bart's Peppermint balm has me stroking my chin every few minutes.
A great shave!
Have a great evening folks.
