Pre shave prep: 1912 Classic 24
Brush: Yaqi Rainbow 26mm
Soap: 1912 Classic 24
Razor: Razorock GC 0.84
Blade: NOS 1960's Perma Sharp Supreme (5)
Post Shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, homemade Witch Hazel with added oils
Balm: Proraso red
Aftershave: Homemade Bay Rum #2
Relaxing 3 pass shave as the rain bolted down like stair rods and the thunder and lightening roared and flashed. This all went out of the window with a very nice shave today.
The GC and NOS Perma sharp blade worked really well although I believe the blade is done - 5 shaves and out. Do not want to chance it any further.
The Classic 24 has a scent I like and the lather works really well for me. No issues from the shave and nothing from the block.
A change in post shave routine today as I fancied the Proraso Red and a splash of my homemade Bay Rum - Very nice.
I have a very nice post shave glow and the Bay Rum is not too overpowering, definite scent of Oranges in there.
The Downer, As I came out of the shower the bathroom had an a very distinct air of Classic 24, OOOH!, that's nice I thought, my soap must be really blooming, Nah, my small bar of pre shave 1912 face soap had somehow slipped into the sink of hot water where I was warming the bowl and slowly began to melt. Boo Hoo, I must have lost 10 shaves worth before I found it.
Not to worry though.
Have a great day All and I hope the weather where you are is better than where I am.
