Post:
Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse. /Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel./The Real Shaving Co. SPF15 Anti-Ageing Moisturiser./ Dana English Leather ASL.

Greetings,

A comfortable close shave to finish my shaving week off on a high note.

The Proraso Sensitive Soap provided me with slick protective lather for the shave leaving a equally good post shave feel....My only gripe with both the soap & cream is they leave a white residue on the razor surface after I have finished the shave...However, this could be because I live in a hard water area and the soap reacts with the high minerals in the water which has nothing to do the ingredients of the soap.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Dana English Leather ASL.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.;)

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Brush: Chubby 1 Best
Soap: A&E The Novelist
Razor: Blackland Sabre
Blade: GEM PTFE
Post: A&E The Novelist AS & HDP 1899

Cracking shave, smooth and efficient. Another firm favourite with The Novelist dupe of 1899. I've got a good few A&E's at this point and this along with Tobacco Road are my favourites, good thing as I picked up a few sets to keep me going.

Smooth and smelling good, hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers

Marc
 
Thur 23rd November

Aleppo soap- Shave pre wash
RR 400 - SE Plissoft noir
La Toja stick- grated
Occams Hiram Commander- 2dot plate
Schick Proline ( 3 )

Though I have both The Occams Hiram Commander and The Enoch, and they both deliver decent Shaves, on balance I prefer the HC as I get frustrated when changing blades on The Enoch. Quite a pleasant Shave today, though I could have done a better job on the upper lip if I had not rushed a bit.
