A close shave with my converted MMOC (to take Courrx blades).
Fab scent from this love it or hate it soap applied with the Grosvenor, a great mixed hair brush, was left clean shaven without nicks or irritation, perfect. A good spray of Boellis Panama and I was good to go.

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Omega 49 Boar
Soap: Stirling Spice
Razor: Blackland Sabre L1
Blade: Gem Blue Star
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Vitamin E oil, Old Spice AS

I haven't used this plate for a while and yes there was less than a days stubble to remove but I love the smooth way the Sabre goes about its job.
It really is a "Good" Friday when it feels like a Saturday.
Happy Shaving one and all.
 
Friday 30th March

RSC Facial Scrub
Vitos Pre Shave Cream
OSP Barbershop Cream
Giles Shaving Co Bowl
Yaqi 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic Brush
Baili Tech with a Treet Tez Carbon Steel Blade
Alum Block and Rinse
Lacura Moisturiser
Epsilon Blue AS

A few 'firsts' in today's shave.
First use of the OSP cream. I normally prefer soaps and this one was ordered in error. It worked really well and I just love the scent
The Baili Tech was ordered some time back. I liked the shorter handle, and for £4 delivered it was a 'no-brainer'. It turns out that this little razor actually shaves very well. I would say efficiency is somewhere between the Gillette tech I used to have and the Feather Portable I currently have.
The Epsilon Blue is a lovely aftershave. The menthol kick at the end came as a surprise. Its not overpowering....but leaves the face feeling very refreshed

Three passes and a little touch up for a really enjoyable and smooth shave.
 

Happy Birthday

After a meeting near Piccadilly (no, not that sort of meeting!) I though I might as well pop in to the Santa Maria Novella store on Piccadilly Arcade. Of course, I left the store 20 minutes later a couple of hundred quid worse off. The cream is lovely. And so it should be for the price. But the cologne is sublime. As a rule I generally like to blame my expensive shaving related purchases on someone else - as @Digimonkey knows only too well. So this time I would like to lay the blame firmly at the door of @Scotshave. Cheers Stephen! A wonderfully self-indulgent shave. Have a great holiday weekend gents.
