Soap: Tabula Rasa Wild Lavender

Love the IL stick. Lathers like nothing else I use. No particular scent just soapiness. Last of the Mr Taylor sample, may have to buy some!

I'm quite tempted to try a few more Proraso foams. Vinny?

A decent shave, this week I've been using different Tech razors, I'm continuing the theme tomorrow with a different one.
 
Sunday

Afternoon, all.

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: EJDE89
Blade: Rapira SS (2)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave cream: Super Smooth South Sea Spray
Aftershave: Ice Dive
Cologne: Andy Warhol

An excellent, lazy Sunday shave. The Super Smooth continues to perform superbly and I got a very close shave with no problems. It's warmed up today so I went for the Andy Warhol EdT that I bought for a fiver a while back and which I recommend as a Summer scent.

The Green and the Red ones are even better.

They are the same as the old Noxema Metholated (blue) and Shea Butter (yellow) foams, respectively.
