A really close shave this evening. The Xtro lit my face up but it was that fresh sting. Great finish!

Razor ~ Rex - Ambassador
Blade ~ Presonna Med Prep
Soap ~ Panama 1924 - Boellis
Brush ~ Semogue 2018 LE Boar
Scent ~ Panama 1924 EdT - Boellis

Today was the last day of my soap for a week challange, I've really enjoyed using my Panama 1924 and it has given me consistently good lathers and performs very well, a top soap in my book.
I've also been enjoying my Panama 1924 EdT from Boellis so much so that I used the last drop of it today! It's one of my favourites so I must restock soon.
Tomorrow brings a different soap for the next seven days.

Have a nice day folks.......P.

The Alu. Handle and its shape make this Razor so tactile that is a delight to Shave with. Though not classed as aggressive, I still have no problems getting a real close all round finish, without the effort required in other Razors. Am sure the lather today helped, the Cheap as Chips Williams is quite amazing.

This duck base is awesome! Fantastic fougere scent with a twist of Amber. Brilliant post shave, no aftershave necessary, however, the scent of the soap paired very well with the Brut.

​
A cold water shave with the Mitchell's soap this morning didn't go as well as expected, I don't think the soap, or maybe the brush, responded as well to cold water as it does to warm water. Strange. A reasonable two pass shave was the result, but it is time to bin the med prep after seven good shaves.

Alpha T400 - LEA stick (Original Tallow) - Pal Injectomatic - Vintage Pal #6 - Alum - Blue Stratos A/S - Aloe Vera Gel

The tallow version of LEA marks the end (for the moment) of my stick fest. This shave along with the others have shown me how enjoyable face lathering is using a stick. Especially when the brush knot has good backbone. Today was a good example.
I've also been very impressed with the Injectomatic and vintage Pal blade. From being slightly harsh at first, the blade has matured nicely giving consistently smooth, close shaves. Plus it's definitely got more shaves under it's belt.

Goodbye stick fest, you won't be the last!!!
