2nd use of this soap and man...the scent is really something. It's lasting too as I can still smell it a few hours later. I am liking it more & more. Performance is okok only.
Best ever shave with this vintage razor and blade pairing. Very crisp, felt so smooth and comfortable. 3passes at setting 9-9-7 for a very close mostly bbs result. The pleasure was enhanced by the aftershave...really wow!

And so the REX brings a close to my 5 for Feb Challenge, it has been an enjoyable month and choosing my shave kit was a lot easier, however, there are a lot of aspects of my collection i have missed. These will be addressed starting tomorrow.
I don't think i could just use 1 razor, 1 soap & 1 brush - ever.
An easy 2 pass shave this morning to set me up for the day.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
 
Sunday 28th February


Paragon Boar - Haslinger Honig - Leaf 'Twig'/Gillette Super Blue - Worth pour Homme EDT

An unexpected call in to work has meant a quick shave before I go. The Paragon performed better today with only a couple of hairs washing down the sink. I had been a little worried about bristle loss but it seems to be settling.
Not quite the relaxed Sunday shave I had planned for......but a 3 pass 'Face Feeler' is OK by me!

Sunday

Phoenix and Beau Spitfire
RazoRock Plissoft 24mm synth
Face lather
Gillette Fat Handle Tech (Flat Bed, England, 1948)
Gillette Silver Platinum (2)
Thayer’s Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Phoenix and Beau Spitfire Solid Cologne

Not a great amount to deal with in bristle land; after the New Improved yesterday. But what was there got dispatched effectively with the Tech. I heartily recommend the solid colognes from @phoenixandbeau if they are all as good as the Spitfire one, incidentally.
