I am really beginning to enjoy these minty shaves, i was not convinced with peppermint at the beginning finding it too "sweet-shop", i seem to be mellowing to it now, maybe due to the Cedarwood & Peppermint scent of @BrianH 's soap which i really like.
The GFCC works a treat for a cream and performs well above its price, it does however, leave a bit of a film on your razor and the brush needs a good rinse after use.
3 passes and pickups today due to the Feather going off very quickly on the last pass. Still managed a BBS comfortable finish, probably down to the brilliant PILS.
I used the Proraso M&E for the post shave and i do like the menthol hit of it, i think its enough for me, i don't go in for the full on face freeze.
So BBS, comfortable and glowing. Feeling real good.
Soap dish update.
I could not throw the dish away without trying to salvage something.
I had a rake in the den and found a small plastic tub, this sits nicely inside the dish and the lid fits it. I decanted the soap to that, cleaned up the 2 halves, removed the sharp edges and super-glued it back together, it will not see the bathroom again but a least it can sit on the shelf.
The little tub will be used on super-lather days while i debate commissioning another set.

Another close comfortable shave. I haven't used this Razor much in the past few year, favouring my Merkur 34, I'd forgot just how good this was.
