ES pre shave
Merkur 42c/ Astra(2)
SV 2.0
LA Shave Soap Co Woody Lavender (sub: SV Stella Alpina)
Alum
L'Occitane Cade a/s balm.
Debuted the Woody Lavender, which was a kind PIF from MPH,...so disappointed, I didn't get on with it.
No matter what I did I couldn't get a lather to last,..add more soap, whip it up, paint on, within a minute the lather had almost disappeared., 3 re-lathers before one pass completed.
Lathered up the SV and away we went. The Italian thoroughbred kicked the ass of the American muscle car.
Good shave, but there was quite a bit of burn due, I would imagine to the lack of protection during the first pass.
Have to try again with that one before considering a PIF.:-(
The Cade balm calmed a lively alum rub down followed by a body splash of Guerlain pour Homme......Good save!
