Pre: Face Wash
Brush: Simpson Duke 2
Soap: CR Salter Indian Sandalwood
Razor: PILS 101 NE
Blade: Gillette 7OC Green (2)
Post shave: Cold water splash, Homemade Witch Hazel
Balm: Bart's Balm Rosemary and Sandalwood Balm & Lotion
Aftershave: Old Spice Original



I rarely use the CR Salter these days, its really nice, giving a great face lather.
Same as yesterday i slowed on my stubborn areas and shortened the strokes.
1 Pass WTG then a mixed pass giving a BBS finish without buffing.
I may run with this cream for a while, i have had it a very long time and it needs finishing, its only about 20mm down in the tub.
A nice post shave leaving me feeling and smelling good.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

One of my top soap...terrific scent. Another nice face lathering result..creamily thick and slick. The brush is very good...soft, backbone and can splay nicely. Shave with razor paired with blade was ok. Did not feel as smooth and resulted with some weepers. 3 multiple passes and managed between BBS to DFS with a 8/10 rating.
Great post shave feel with the Hyaluronic Acid and top-off with Cavendish splash which lasted for 5+hrs.

My wife is much better as knee has been drained. Now can move on Zimmer frame and is being discharged, awaiting transport. So glad she does not have to stay in Hospital.
That's great news....You must feel like you've won the lottery!..Take care.
