Martin de Candre
Puma 6/8 No. 1 FF
L'Oreal Men Expert 24hr Balm
Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza
This combination worked a treat today! The MdC is without a question my favourite soap all-round. The Colonia Essenza worked wonders in this freezing weather we're having. Not that cold for some parts of the world, but in Southern England temperature of -8C are just unheard of!!! Brrrrrrrrr!!!
Usually just use the slant to clear the long stubble on a Monday but I waste a lot of blades that way, so it got a second bite at the cherry today. Not bad on short stubble either.
I woke up this morning, looked myself in the mirror and realised that my 13/16" Bengall did an excelent job yesterday!
So I desided to have an one pass shave with a DE.
