A very enjoyable 2 pass shave this morning, with no issues to report. Its been a while since I used the OSP Sicilian Lemon Grove Cream. This produced a very nice lather, in terms of protection, glide and scent. The Omega (Boar) brush is still breaking-in and it seemed to take an age to get the lather going. However, once ready, everything was good.
I had been away traveling, since last Thursday. On my travels I made use of the Hone-15a and Gillette 7 O'clock Yellow's with Prorasso (Green) Shaving Soap with the accompanying Pre-shave creams.
Some excellent shaves, whilst away - however needed a 3 pass with touch-ups to get a decent shave, where as with an SE blade, that would fall into 2 pass territory (YMMV
).
It was good to use the Hone razor again, my brother in-law was quite impressed, and could be tempted to take up wet shaving, moving away from electric.
All the best,
Chris
