Nice enough lather from the soap. The scent was very refreshing & pleasant.

View attachment 88691A truly cracking shave tonight.
First day back in Norway or should i say first shave as i arrived last night.
The scent for me on this is fantastic i think i need to start using it more often.
A lovely 3 pass shave which i could have shaved all night i enjoyed it so much.
It took me over 5 minutes to whip up a wonderful creamy lather.
not because i was having difficulty but i just loved the scent so much it actually filled the bathroom in my hotel.

Decent shave this morning, again just a quick two pass for an acceptable finish. My head is already in wind down mode for the bank holiday ahead, sadly my meeting schedule doesn't seem to want to align with my head space!

Refreshed and relatively ready for the day ahead, hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

I was still pretty well shaved from yesterday, so, I didn’t really need much of a shave, but I had one anyway. A superb lather from the lightly citrusy Hibernia soap then a magnificent two passes from the aluminium SE1 with a new Proline on board. This is my closest shaving AC razor.

New shaving set up.
Prep: wash face with Bull Dog face wash in warm water in basin.
Brush; Omega Boar soaked for a few minutes ,warm water in basin
Razor; RazorRock Game Changer .84P
Blade: Gilette Yellow Sharp edge
Soap; Signature Soaps Wicstun - excellent
ASB - None
Moisturiser; Cerave Moisturiser (unfragranced)
2 pass shave,WTG the ATG for a mostly BBS finish. The .84 GC razor has been used daily but noticed that 3 passes left my face sore; 2 pass shave is the sweet spot for me with this razor. Great shaving soap. The moisturiser is a new addition -so far (2nd day's use)its quite good- isn't oily, doesn't smell ,has SPF and contains hyluronic acid. Have a good day everyone.

Preshave: Bart’s Balm Preshave Sample Oil

After a short stop at home, it’s back out in the caravan for the week. A great shave with the Henson again and the Bart’s balm was liberally applied, (spilt out as not concentrating). Proraso green is one of my all time old time favourites I just wish it was stronger!
A delightful start to the week away, all the best guys!
