3 passes for a DFS+ finish, i have pushed the Polsilver Lodz as i needed to see if it would "go off" so 5 and out as i could feel a difference mid shave
Upped to #3 to finish off.
A nice post shave leaving me feeling and smelling good.
Stay safe and enjoy your Day All.

I'm intrigued by your Bay Rum Astringent and Balm - how do you mix them ? Which ingredients?

Update:-Thanks Russ, I do enjoy using them
@Paul L
I am quite lucky to have skin about as sensitive as a blacksmiths apron and found I can tolerate about 20 drops of EO to 100ml of mixer.
The astringent is mainly witch hazel, any cheapo will do boots own make or local chemist, i have done a 50/50 with cheap vodka and white rum added to witch hazel and it worked well. You need to shake vigorously before application though. The Argan oil is just that. Either 100% or mixed with a bit coconut oil about 90/10 ratio works for me, again drops of Essential oil to your liking.
Homemade Bay Rum Aftershave was a good experience but did not turn out as well as expected. The recipe I used was from the 1800's I think. I got it off the net.

Update:-
It got me thinking about my last splash so I checked it. Looks and smells ok.
