Greetings All,
Monday shave
Four day's growth (reason below) and warm shave
Preparation – Showered then face washed with Dove Shower Gel
Soap: TOBS – Eton College Collection cream
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Shark SS (1st)
Brush: RazoRock 400 (face lather)
Post Shave: Hot then cold water rinse, Molton Brown Recovery Balm, then Crabtree & Evelyn West Indian Lime AS
Three effortless passes today.
Last week, I had holidayed in Florida to soak up some sunshine (and I did)
As may of you would recall, I did a blade comparison, which I may start again as I still have many to try, sorry, I get side tracked. In number one position was Lord Rainbow which I found smooth and ease to use – ideal for a beginner. However, during my trip to Florida, I thought I would re-try this ‘awesome' personally highly rated blade and during my first shave, perfect (with the aid of D R Harris Windsor shaving cream). The second shave two days later left a lot to be desired – tugging and ineffective. I tried a second blade, but no joy. So the infamous Shark SS returns to the No. 1 position.
Also, I was forced to go shopping with the boss (as you do) and found a L'Occitane shop – and YES, it had the Cade Shaving soap and metal bowl (oh, also had to buy the balm). Then continued on to a mall and yes, found a second L'Occitane shop close to home (outlaws live in Florida – Marco Island for those in the know), so need to send the outlaws to buy a spare soap
Cheers,
Brian
