Friday Evening

Hot Shower
New Forest Brush
Nuage Shaving Oil with menthol
Proraso soap
7 O'Clock Yellow (2)
39C
Old Spice Lime AS

Picked up the shaving oil for a giveaway today in an attempt to make the Proraso more 'mentholy'. It certainly worked, with from both a 'feel' and improved razor glide - the slant slid effortlessly across my face tonight. My skin felt a lot more lubricated after a cold water rinse than usual, to the extent that I didn't need any moisturising balm, just the splash of OS lime :cool:

Downside being the razor was oily and harder to clean!

8:30 pm pre night shift shave

Pre - Hot shower
Thayers Rose Witch Hazel
Soap - Tabac
Brush - Omega 10005
Razor - 38C
Blade - Red IP (4)
AS - Pinaud Bay Rum

First use of my new Omega 10005 boar brush. It lathered up nicely on my bowl of Tabac and I face lathered (2nd time as normally use bowl). Easily had enough lather for 3 passes after being concerned by reviews that boars didn't initially produce as much lather. My first ATG on my face with the 38C resulting in a very smooth finish. Bay Rum to finish which again made my lips numb!!!
