Sotd - 29/1/20

Prep - facial scrub
razor - Rockwell (4)
blade - Super Max Platinum (8!)
soap - P&B - Solaris - tallow
brush - Simpsons P8 Phyl - best
post - witch hazel
a/s - Quorum
balm - The Golden Hand
scent - Homme de Caron edt.

Result - if you are thinking - that is an eclectic choice of kit - I'd agree with you - this was my shave last night - but apart from the razor and scent - I didn't select any of it myself. My mate did - caveat one - he's an experienced wet shaver - and two - he had been drinking McEwan's Champion ale - which if you are not familiar with it - is not a beer for girls - a beer with a message - leave well alone. It really ought to be a controlled substance. I was dithering about what to use so - interesting experiment - off he went to the den. It was a great shave - all the products are tried and tested in my experience - although - it had never occurred to me to put them together in this way before. The peppermint/lemon/rosewood of the soap into Quorum aftershave - which as I'm sure you know - is lavender - with a capital LAVENDER. Fair enough - I'm open to new scent experiences. The balm choice - I think - was simple favouritism - his partner is Dutch - in fairness - I find it an excellent post for winter - it costs buttons. So - a top-end - if odd shave - all the right products - just not necessarily in the right order. Ha ha. Enjoy yours - cheers - I.
