Travel Shave...

The lovely little Cyril Salter puck is such a good soap and I'm getting more used to lathering it in my hand now. This brush is my smallest brush and a great little synthetic and the razor I PIFed to a family member but it has somehow made its way back to me despite him liking it. I'm not bothered as I quite like it. It's a cracking little razor. The blade was the Gillette 7 O Clock Yellow.

A perfectly sound shave followed by Attraction Totale :ROFLMAO:. That name cracks me up...

No clogging to be reported! (y)

It’s a handsome brush. Do you mind if I ask what size it is & where it’s from? I have a Maggard Travel brush but find it a bit dinky - I think it’s 16 or 18 mm so may just replace with another small synthetic.
 
Fri 31 October

Aleppo Soap
Mühle Rocca
Bic Chrome Platinum
D R Harris
Highlander Bog Oak Butterscotch Omega
TGS Witch Hazel & Cucumber
Proraso White Pre-Shave as post shave

No Halloween horror show here - an excellent shave with this razor which I’m so pleased with. Initially was disappointed that blade tabs were very slightly exposed as thought they’d be covered, but causes zero issues.

Have a great Friday everyone

PAA Cyclo Trode 24mm perihelion knot

Brazilian Wilkie #8
TCB Gator Grease ASB

Although the Samhain festival is tomorrow I decided to use this sample today because of it pumpkin note ( will use tomorrow as well ) and the spooky fun brush that glows in the dark of a very gloomy rainy day. Great shave removing my grey riven beard to baby smooth old mush. Hope those pesky trick-or-treaters’ don’t plague you too much!

My final OCtober Shave today consisted of...
Prep Hot Shower.
Brush Cyclotrode X.
Soap Midnight Soiree Halloween.
Razor Phoenix Accoutrements El Fantasma.
Blade Treet Classic.
Aftershave Midnight Soiree Halloween Splash.

This set up was always planned for this special night of demons and witchcraft.
Sadly I will put the Soiree Halloween Soap and splash away again until next year.
A superb shave made special by the glow from my creepy and bloody cool Glow in the dark gear.
10/10.

Have a Spooctacular evening everyone.
