My Retirement Day,
so it would have been my last working day shave, if i had not been off with Covid, still testing positive this morning?
Anyway:-

Pre - Shower
Brush - Simpson Chubby 2
Soap - Stirling Soap co. Sandalwood
Razor - Blackland ERA #3
Blade - Gillette Perma - sharp
Post - Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm - Proraso Red
A/S - Proraso Red

That was a great shave, which is easily as close as the SS Karve C from yesterday, do i just need a bit more time with the #3 plate to dial it in? If i can get this level of finish consistently i will be a very happy shaver.
Really smooth 3 passes leaving me very comfortable and BBS without issue, cannot ask for much more than that.

Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Congratulations on your retirement. Hope the tests are negative soon.

It should go soon.....although there was a guy from Caerphilly with a compromised immune system who tested positive for 7 months. The BBC covered it last week I think
