Prep: Hot shower, Acqua di Parma Collezione Barbiere Facial Scrub
Pre: Splash of Cold Water
Brush: Coates FitzWilliam
Cream: AdP Collezione Barbiere
Razor: Feather AS-D1
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless #2
Post: Myrsol Metisol, Acqua di Parma Collezione Barbiere ASB

Result: Very nice. I've not used the Feather (before yesterday) for a while and I have to say it delivers a fine shave. It will be interesting to see how it fares with a non-feather blade.

All the best,

Jon

DR Harris Sandalwood Soap*

After replying to an email from DR Harris, I was lucky enough to receive a sample of their Sandalwood shaving soap. I've used it 3 times and very nice it is too.

It's a complex scent, and my nose has trouble picking out sandalwood, but it's a warm, spicy scent and not at all stuffy or powdery, which I think is down to the eucalyptus.
