The same shave as yesterday, same kit, same bears and the same good result!

Edward and Paul bear wish you all well


Until the next time, stay safe, stay well.

I started scrolling down, saw the top of the photo and the first thing I thought was "Please don't say he DID shave the bears... "
 

Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Pre: Proraso Crema Pre Barba
Soap: Proraso Green
Brush: Omega 49
Razor: Parker 22R Interceptor
Blade: Tiger Platinum (2)
Post: Alum, Witch Hazel, Bulldog Original Moisturiser

Double Proraso hit made for a lovely fresh shave. The Tiger blade definitely goes into the "keep" pile. I got a good lather with the Omega, and no irritation, suggesting that I may have been correct in thinking that the Wool Fat soap was the issue for me. It's gone to a new home, which is great, and I'll just make sure to steer clear of lanolin going forward.

I have been the same Jay , and the good friend who introduced me to straight razor shaving , did warn me I would sell my DE's. , I use a variety of razors but 80/90 percent of my shaves are Straight Razor Shaves. Thats not to say I don't enjoy other types of shaving as well.
 
Thanks Chris. Hope every is ok with you and family.
 
The Van Der Hagen soap is a very underated soap IMO.

Castle Forbes Lavender
Simfix Barrule
ATT SE1 Calypso
Feather Professional
Bart’s Balm Grapefruit and Pink Pepper


A superb shave this morning, very close and wonderfully scented. The Castle Forbes Lavender is a very masculine floral and the little Simfix brush made a fabulous lather with it. Job done well.
