Shaving in Blue​

In this sunny spring day I felt like shaving with products having something blue. My pre-shave oil - with its blue glass bottle - Nivea shaving cream with a blue tube and then Mennen Blue aftershave. The only two exceptions were the stellar Mastro Livi carbon Damascus straight razor and the glorious Omega 48 professional brush. I have to tell I like the Mennen Blue aftershave quite a lot, maybe I like it more than Mennen Skin Bracer, although I like both. As for the shave, it was impeccable, smooth and velvety thanks to this awesome razor having an extra full hollow grinding with a superb cutting edge, giving a very close shave. Impeccable and magnificent BBS!​

Eau Sauvage is one of the great citrus classics @Scuba Steve . I only wish the longevity was a bit longer on my skin. I got no more than 1 hour if I was lucky. Real shame as it is a fantastic fragrance!
 
70 (90 was planned but a horrffic head wind put paid tot that!) mile bike, followed by shower:
@Fergiebilly 's Chinese Soap
RazorRock Barber Plissoft
Some Eveready single Edge Contraption from the pass around
GEM
Old Spice AS
Melizia Uomo Vetyver

One outing is enough to decide I was not overly impressed with the Eveready. The angle of attack, for me, is just too difficult to maintain. Shaving under my snoz was a pain in the ass, ATG on the neck, again difficult to maintain the angle. Grabbed my PAL adjustable to finish the shave for a DF result.

Oh Billys chinese soap is VERY impressive indeed. Very mild scent, but really very good performance....

Happy saturday folks and thanks to @alancrab for the pass around
