12th DE shave
Prep: Warm water rinse, BBA Face Wash then Proraso Pre Shave Cream
Cream: Figaro Shaving Cream Almond
Brush: ES Medium Jock synthetic
Razor: Merkur 34c
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless (1)
Post: Cold rinse, Floid after shave balm.
I know I said I wouldn't change much from my new routine, which seems to be working really well for me.......BUT!
The Newbie Pass Around box arrived today and I couldn't help myself. I only have fourteen days with it and I want to try everything!
I asked my 14 year old daughter to choose a shaving soap and it came as no surprise when she chose the most pungent smell she could find - Figaro Almond. The smell is explosive as soon as the tub is opened. I pressed on with it regardless.
I tried the BBA face wash which gave me a fresh squeaky clean face. Then on with the Proraso pre shave cream. It was fresh too with a pleasant menthol smell. I could feel my stubble almost standing straight out (that doesn't sound right! ).
Which leads me on to the blade. I've read lots of reviews and, more importantly, warnings about Feather blades. A pack was in the box and I couldn't resist. I tried not to think about the warnings and shaved as normal. Surprisingly no weepers...at all. I used the new learned J-Hook technique on my touch ups again and it worked wonders.
After a cold rinse I fired on some Floid aftershave balms which have a slight burn and fresh feel. A BBS finish and fantastic feeling skin. Love it.
I'll try another approach tomorrow, though I'm really liking the Feather blades.
Have a great evening folks!

PS - my daughter phoned me to tell me the box arrived so I resisted going into the Gentleman's Groom Room. Once I've decided on a few things I like I'll pay a visit then remortgage the house!
Glad you liked the mini boar, dosent look to small against the soap but does against the blades, cracking looking razor big fan of blackland razors still working on getting my 1st oneView attachment 37447~SOTD~
Prep ~ Shower, D.R.Harris Almond Bath Soap
Razor ~ Blackland Dart
Blade ~ Astra SP
Soap ~ Klar Seifen - Almond
Brush ~ S.Jagger - Purple Heart Boar
Post ~ Floid Black Aftershave
Scent ~ Penhaligons Sartorial
My first proper use of the Purple Heart Boar brush that @Steven_Jagger had given me some time back and due to its small size I thought it would make a great travel brush and then I purchased the small puck of the wonderful Klar Seifen Almond shave soap and thought, I've just got the brush for that!
Holding the puck in my left hand and the brush in the other I soon whipped enough soap to enable me to do three passes without returning to the puck! Bloody marvellous ,thanks Steven , just the job.
Today I loaded the dart with a blade I know to be middle of the road in terms of effectiveness, the Astra SP, I still needed a light touch because I feel no matter what blade is put in here it would probably bite if you rushed or was to use too much pressure..
As with my previous shaves with the Dart today's was a good one and the Astra SP worked well leaving me with a great finnish and no blood loss to report
A good splash of Floid Black Aftershave which fully woke me up followed by a good few sprays of Sartorial from Penhaligons and I was done. Looking good & smelling great!
Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday ...........P.
