Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Pre: None
Soap: P&B Imperial Rum (sample from Newbie Box)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Sagrada Familia Tuxedo
Razor: 1Parker R22 Interceptor
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Post: Alum, Pinaud Bay Rum ASL, Real Shaving Co. Moisturiser

Another day, another delve in the Box of Delights! The P&B soap performed admirably, and smelt lovely. The Pinaud? It didn't float my boat in the way that Benjmains Bay Rum does, but I'm being picky as it's nice enough. Day 3 for the GSB blade and it's still performing well - today's a video call day so the Futur copy's stayed boxed while I stuck with a tried and tested razor! It is however sitting there looking like Gort from The Day The Earth Stood Still, and tempting me to try it out tomorrow :ROFLMAO:

Starting with an easy face lather with the Sig Soap and Yaqi synth to prep the chin for the shave.
2 passes and a touch up for a DFS+ finish with the Feather Non Folder today.
I felt the blade was tugging a little towards the end so it has been banked.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All
