The humble Boots shave stick provided a slick protective lather in a short space of time leaving a superb post shave feel to my face.

Pitralon Classic aftershave
Soundtrack: David Bowie LOW

This year more than any other we've looked for comfort wherever we can find it. Without realising I find myself rewatching old TV shows again and again. I find it difficult to sit and listen to music. I struggle to switch off at all.

I rarely put much thought into the gear I'm going to use. I reach for whatever the mood takes me.
This morning I couldn't decide between Eufros Fougére, DG TSM Fougére or MDC Fougére? After a little sniff of each I went with Eufros.

Although I do have a couple of new soaps I could have used I wanted something familiar which was tried and tested.
It's been 4 days since my last shave (shocking I know) so I went with the ATT S2, a razor which I've stuck with from the beginning.
The only newish item in my set up was the SynBad knot. I wanted to see how it preformed with the Eufros and I was not disappointed.

Eufros has been in my top 5 soaps ever since I tried them over three years ago. It ticks all the boxes. Great scent, ease of lather, slickness and protection are excellent.
I'm yet to try Manuel's latest base so I can only imagine how good it is.

A nice relaxing shave with great results. Finished off with my favourite aftershave, Pitralon Classic and Bowie playing in the background.

Stay safe folks. We'll be out of the darkness soon enough.
Cheers
Rob

3Shaves In with this soap which very quickly produce a slick and protective lather. Works very well with this Razor/Blade combo and I had no problems getting a very good close all round finish.
