SOTD Thursday 28 November 2019

Pre-shave: Warm shower, Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser, followed by Prorasso Red Pre/post Shave.
Soap: MDC.
Brush: Shavemac Flattop.
Razor: Pils 101NE.
Blade: Shark Platinum (Day 3).
Post: Pitralon Swiss, followed by Bioaroma After Shave Moisturizing Face Cream.
EDP: Molinard Cuir (Leather).

A very relaxing 2 pass shave WTG and XTG, with no issues to report. Circa 10 hours after shaving my skin still feels very good.

The Pils loaded with the Shark Platinum is a fine combination; smooth, effective and comfortable; as ever I appreciate YMMV.

All the best,

Chris

The 3D Printed Bowl works wonders, making good soaps/creams even better
Nivea Cream, although very cheap, certainly performs very well
A good, comfortable shave
Finished with Forest Fresh ASL - another product that performs beyond it's price point

Apologies; I hadn't settled on a fragrance during the time of the photo. It may seem slightly crazy to use a menthol based soap and cryogenic after shave as the crowning glory to my customary cold water shaves. Especially as it's getting slightly nippy up here.

I found the vintage Schick blades at the back my blades drawer; and they are very sharp and smooth...5615D075-D8C4-48B9-8CC6-D5B4923660F4.jpeg
