A barber shop come menthol theme this evening.

The OSP cream is growing on me, especially when paired with the Epsilon aftershave. A really cool and refreshing pairing.

The Genesis performed faultlessly during my 3 passes giving me a BBS finish. My face is squeaky smooth!

Have a great evening folks. [emoji1303]

Many thanks to Rob @Blackmass for the Eufros. My first foray into the world of soap. Seems to have some kind of magical properties, very slick and face felt great after. Even finished off with an ATG, not something I do often at all. Seemed to work with a very shallow, cap riding angle and just 3 weepers ATG is probably a record for me. Main difference was that my face wasn't red raw after ATG as it has been with other gear. A welcome return after a couple of crap cart shaves at the weekend where half an hour later I wasn't sure I'd shaved at all. Great stuff !

Shaving with legends this morning. The Chubby 2 and the Castle Forbes shaving cream are definitely legends, and this particular Razorock razor is rapidly becoming one. A wonderful shave was had.
