Shave of the day, Saturday, 02/04/2011

[mattlad]

Warm shower.

Music:- Radio 2

Mitchell's Wool Fat. I tried face lathering rather than using a bowl. I think I'll carry on using a bowl in future.

Goodfella Razor, Gillette 7 O'clock (2)

Second pass with Merkur Slantblade.

Alum block and aloe vera for AS treatment.

Shower


Proraso Menthol Soap
Simpsons Milk Churn
Gillette Tech
Gillette / Wilkinson Sword Blade (Indian one)
Macca Root Face Protector
Ogallala Bay Rum & Sandalwood

A rare outing for the Proraso I got it as a stocking filler at Christmas, I know a lot of people here like it. It's ok but I never seem to get a brilliant lather with it.

Sooooo good to have the Milk Churn back.

The Gillette / Wilkinson blade is an Indian import, and a very cheap Ebay purchase. I must say a nice blade, very smooth for me and the Tech is brilliant.

First try of the Macca Root Face Protector and a WOW !!!

All in all a great shave.

Hello!

Do you know Musgo Real? Lavanda shaving cream is his brother!
Same great performance, same formulation, apart from the scent. Oh, and the same maker too (Ach. Brito/Claus Porto from Portugal).

The scent is Lavender (hence the name, Lavanda means lavender in Portuguese), with some deep balsamic and sweet notes.

Unlucky, Lavanda has been discontinued... it is not produced anymore. If you like Musgo Real and lavender scented creams, grab this one!

( I now noticed that I posted my SOTD in the wrong thread... oops! I placed a new SOTD in the right thread. )
