Used my Travel cream today as a change. This time I bowl lathered as when travelling I load the brush directly, it really provides a good lather but it's best attribute is that it provides superb glide. The Shave was very smooth and comfortable, and also extremely close all round. Am now of a mind to carry on wth this combo for a while as the blade seems full of life.

 


Razor: Razorock Baby Smooth (Titanium version)
Razor blade: Gillette Platinum (3)
Brush: TGN Finest/Stirling handle
Bowl: Little Wren Pottery
Soap: Pre de Provence No 63
Post: Thayers witch hazel and Pre de Provence No 63 AS balm.

Another day, another parcel of goodies from @Acer89.
The Razor and brush are on loan from James, thanks you champ.

The Brush was lovely to use. Great backbone, just how I like it and worked the soap into a great lather in no time.

No issues with the razor either. Easy to fine the correct cutting angle and was deceptively efficient.

The soap and balm were good and the scent is very nice. Apparently it's based on YSL L'Homme.

My face is feeling a little irritable/ tingly. I'll have to try the soap again with a different razor and see how it fares next time.

Not bad for a shave of firsts though.

Laters

Agree on the R2 plate @Boru62 - for me it is shaves almost as close as the H2 plate, but with much more comfort.
