Monday's differences

I used one of the 3 Proraso boars, this is the 'middle one' and unlike the issues that my mates have with, or as the middle of 3, this one gives me no problems at all!

P&B Right Handed Giant, great takes on Brut. Then a bit of Brut splashed all over.

Good start to the week

A very pleasant shave this morning (I know) with the SE1. I think that I’m getting to grips with the consequences of any pressure with this razor. Brilliant lather from the Eboracum, and I just love that peppermint!

Ps belated happy birthday @donnie_arko sorry completely missed that one mate
 
Monday 5th September



Ganders Goat Soap w/Hop, Sage & Birch
L'Occitane Cade Shaving Bowl & DSC Professional w/Synbad Synthetic 26mm
Wilkinson Sword Hydro Advanced & Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Skin Protection Advanced Cartridge
Pitralon Classic Aftershave

My setup for the week ...

Putting a few things away in the loft over the weekend, I had a rootle about in the "probably no longer required" soaps box and happened upon a barely used L'Occitane Cade UFO bowl! Why I've not used this much before, I don't know ... I love tarry woody oils like cade. As a soap, it's lovely! I think it goes back to when I was a bit of an ingredients purist and put this somewhat commercial offering aside. I'm certainly going to enjoy a week of this soap.

Continuing to enjoy the Pitralon Classic aftershave, too, which is right up my street! So much so, I think I'll get one in for stock ... something I only do for absolutely favourites, like Puig Quorum (aftershave and EDT), Jovan Musk and two bottles of GFT Eucris still in reserve. I like it a lot!

Straight-up 10/10 shave, that ... despite the effluent gloop strip, which I know will take more then the life of the cartridge to fully die off. I plan a week with the gloop strip in place and the simply remove it for next week and beyond.
