Must be great to have a nice relaxing shave in those chilly conditions!We try to shave with warm water, but gets cold very quickly. I will done my best to improve my colour matching.
Great shout with the Olbas oil, I'm on it next shave.Tuesday 22nd

The Blue's soap is virtually unscented so ideal for scent spiking. Olbas Oil is quite high in Eucalyptus and Mint essential oils. About 4 drops in the lather bowl worked fine. It has a cooling effect and sure clears the sinuses.
My Rocnel technique improves with each shave. Rapidly becoming a favourite in my razor rotation.
Shave well!!!
A great relaxing shave is good in any conditions.Must be great to have a nice relaxing shave in those chilly conditions!
My favourite soap atm spitfire.

I can see a new spelling app being downloaded as we speak.No offense taken BM...as I said, nothing was staged as I like to smoke the old churchwarden whilst shaving and I use the magnifying glass to make a close inspection of razor burn areas. I also wear a deerstalker hat whilst shaving as it keeps my ears warm!(OK, so I did stage it then...but you spelled 'meant' wrong in your last post...you really need to look into that spelling thing )
My go to soaps atm are the P&B range. What is Baskerville like BM as in scent wise? l know how they perform.View attachment 22165 SOTD Wednesday 23rd November 2016
Razor...Gibbs number 17 (1954) adjustable set on N/3
Blade...Lodz Polsilver #1
Soap...P&B Baskerville
Brush ..Omega pure bristle
Post...Thayers Lavender AF
EDT...Tabac
My first use with the Gibbs , wow, what a razor. Paired with the Polsilver blade and on the setting of N. 3 it was very efficient and smooth, leaving me with a BBS finnish with zero irritation, very impressed with this old razor.
I will get back on to the Merkur pass-around razor tomorrow and have a shave off with my ATT S2
Wishing you all well. Au Revoir.
