Omega 10029, Palmolive super lather, Fatip Grande, Voskhod (2), Quorum A/S & EDT

The Omega came yesterday so I had to give it a go today. Obviously not broken in so needed a lot of product but it performed well and felt good on the face.

Hot Rinse & Cold Rinse
Maurer & Wirtz Tabac Aftershave & EDC

Minor deviation from my usual routine with a two pass shave as one just didn't cut it with this razor.

Very smooth with the head practically flat to my face.

Tonight's shave
Bath with Epsom salts
Above the tie R1 with a Polsilver blade
Mudder Focker soap with RazorRock Monster brush
Followed up by the new arrival of Osage Rub. It's the first time I've tried it, very refreshing, cooling and bracing! I like it rather a lot so far.
