Arguably my best shave ever. BBS with the merest hint of irritation on the neck. Took shorter, slower strokes and a gentler touch.

That's impressed me more than the shave. My sugar-free Alpen was like the bottom of a budgie's cage!

This morning:
Prep: cold splash
Foam: Noxzema cocoa butter
Razor: Joseph Rodgers "The Favorite", restored by Jamie
Aftershave: Prof Blighty's Rosewood
Visitors imminent, cheeks unacceptable, three minute solution in one pass with the razor to hand. It's my least sharp in the rotation, and pulls on first pass especially on two-day growth, but works just fine.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage butterscotch Ever Ready badger
'Webly'/Schick Plus Platinum (NOS)
RL Safari SS
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Jean Desprez 'Versailles Pour Homme' EdT
I rarely wear this frag, although I really like having it in the arsenal for those rare times. The opening is pretty nuts and it takes a looong time before this settles into one of the best drydowns I have ever sniffed. Quite the journey with this old juice, and one that lasts a good 10-12 hours or longer. http://www.basenotes.net/ID26121651.html
BBS results,

I escaped this time......poison was the weapon of choice. Anyway......I work in a hospital bloodbank........I always have plenty of stock of my own group. When you combine motorcycling and shavette shaving (not at the same time) you are bound to need it sometime:icon_wink:
