A mix and match shave. I meant to use Fougère Royale shaving soap but reached for the Roger & Gallet by mistake. They worked well together.

Sat 7th / Sun 8th Sept

Omega s 100065 syn
Mondial Tabacco Verde
Sat - ATT SE1 & Schick Proline [ 3 ]
Sun- Occams V2/ No3 plate & Feather Proguard [ 4 ]

Away for a weekend so took a couple of Razors to try them out away from home. On Sat using the ATT SE1 the Shave was made uncomfortable due to the positioning of the Mirror, a passable Shave attained but not really enjoyable.
On Sunday morning the Bathroom was really good , nice lighting and well positioned mirror. As travelling home I settled for a quick comfortable Shave, but it would have been so easy to have gone for an ultra close Shave as conditions just right. The Mondial soap is really good for travelling as it is in a good sized container and quickly produces a very nice lather.

Razor: Muhle R41 + iKon Bamboo
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1)
Brush: Proraso Omega
Soap: P&B Right Handed Giant
Pre: Proraso Green
ASL: Brut
ASB: LEA Classic

View attachment 47187

3 days of growth to take down. Time to use one of my favourite razors. My 2 day bum-fluff shaving routine means I don't often get to use the R41.

The P&B smells great and felt lovely on my skin. A really comfortable 3 passes with an easy BBS finish.

Hi Boycie, good to hear that the P&B sounds like a winner, how does the scent compare to the Brut?

Nice brush
 
Sunday 8th September

Palmolive Classic Shave Cream
Maggards 24mm Synthetic
Rockwell 6C plate 4
Gillette Platinum (2)
Lynx Dark Temptation Aftershave

After a long day painting fence panels a good soak in the bath and a shave was in order
A small amount of Palmolive Cream nestled within the damp brush soon created a good lather.
Only my second use of a Gillette Platinum blade, and I'm quite impressed.
Finished with Lynx Dark Temptation Aftershave, superb for it's price point.

Palmolive scent still evident in the bathroom this morning !
