Brush: C&H 'Finned'
Soap: NO Plunder
Razor: CG Level 3
Blade: Schick TC (1)
Post: NO Plunder AS

A close enough shave this morning, not fantastically smooth but more than presentable. I had hoped to be able to secure some of the EDT's from NO but they don't seem to have materialised over this side of the pond like they said. Shame as I would have loved to get my hands on some of the matching scents, in particular this Plunder and perhaps Firefighter. Perhaps they're on a row boat and might show up at some point.

Still smooth enough and smelling good. Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc

Following on from yesterday's theme, I'm still keeping the summer alive. A switch of menthol today to a slightly lessened version but still the great same results as yesterday.

Kept on with the Fatboy today as well, why not. Yesterdays three pass shave was not a fluke.

Silver theme today with my 1911 ABC Button Company Gillette Silver Double Ring Sawtooth and Edwardian silver handled brush applying my favourite Taylor OBS Sandlewood cream
Result; Smooth one pass shave with a Wilkinson Sword blade.
Followed up with a really stimulating shower using Rituals Sport ice gel. Word of advice, this is not a gel to spread liberally over, shall we say, certain sensitive areas of the body. We are talking a lung and head clearing mint aroma, like showering with a mouthful of After Eight chocolates.
Finish off with Ritual of Samurai after shave balm.
Now to get ready for golf.

Have a great day fellas!

A super shave today with a plentiful, rich lather of Eucris and a playful setting of 4 on the Rex. A comfortable and close shave with no drama, the Treet platinum mitigating the somewhat high setting on the Rex Ambassador.
