Brush:- Executive Shaving Company Medium Jock Synthetic

Post-shave:- Thayers Cucumber / Nivea 2 Phase / Barts Balm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine
Not posted in a few weeks as I've been smashed at work. I've mostly been sticking to The Shaving Shop Hedonisme Pursuit of Happiness soap and aftershave combination. That along with my Rockwell 6c and Gillette Green blade combination is as near to perfect for me as I've come in the world of DE shaving. I can honestly say every shave has been great and near on BBS every time.
Tonight I mixed things up slightly. I followed my usual prep but changed to Geo Trumpers Spanish Leather cream which was lovely. Nice scent and really good slickness. This was my 2nd outing with the Lada Super Stainless blade which is ok, it's given me a nice BBS finish, but isn't as smooth as my preferred Gillette Green blades. It reminds me of a Feather blade - super sharp but just a tad too aggressive for my liking. Don't get me wrong, it's given me a great shave but I just didn't find it as comfortable.
3 passes without incident.
A good post shave finish topped off with Barts Balm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine. Sublime. I know that Santa is brining me Barts box sets and I'm honestly can't wait to try them out!
Glad to be back!
Hope you all have a great weekend! [emoji1303]
