Saturday's shave of the day
Pre-shave - long soak in the bath with Epsom salts.
Cream - Baxter's Shave Cream (abandoned); OSP Lemon.
Brush - Omega premium boar.
Bowl - Little Wren Pottery.
Razor - Colonial; The General Black.
Blade - Kai Captain (Pink) mild (day 1).
Post - Myrsol lemon and Ibiza Aloe Aloe Vera Gel.
A lovely three pass shave: WTG; XTG and ATG - with a BBS fuss free finish.
My first attempt to build a lather with the Baxters Shave Cream was a disaster - no body to the lather. Rinsed the bowl and brush and started again with the OSP lemon, beautiful lather in every respect. There was enough lather left over, after the shave to go for another three pass shave!
The General Black with the Kai Mild was amazing - felt the stubble implode as it met the blade, with each pass. The lather was so good that I felt confident to go with a third pass on the neck.
The Myrsol lemon gave a nice post shave tingle.
All the best,
Chris
