That splash really is the dogs. I did try the EDC but it just didn't ring the same. I must order some more.
And a super blade choice while here

SOTD 11-Jan
Brush: C&H 'Amphora'
Soap: B&M Fougère Angelique
Razor: Blackland Sabre L2
Blade: GEM PTFE (2)
Post: D.R. Harris Arlington
Nice shave this morning, refreshing B&M pity I can't get hold of the splash but still decent enough Aftershave to go with it. Not sure I'm totally sold on this handle, lovely looking thing and the knot is good but the handle itself is a little small for my hands.
Either which way good finish and ready for the day.
Hope everyone has a good one!
Cheers
Marc

Started the shave with ususal - face wash, then applied the proraso green - been a while since I used it but today I felt like having a good menthol kick to wake me up a bit. Still running on small amount of sleep but It should be last stretch of my apprenticeship. Hopefully sleep deprivation will be worth it lol!
Snowblivion whipped up plenty of lather - enough for 4 passes this time. And I kind of did need it... well - as soon as I lathered up the postie came - so had to wash it off quickly and rushed downstairs. Parcel with Sultan Vetiver has arrived for which I was waiting couple of weeks nearly!
Then back to the shave - lathered up again and 2 passes got me a very close DFS. For enjoyment went for third pass too and got that BBS. One small nick where I overstretched the skin on second pass (near the ear) - user error.
Finished off with a nice splash of chaotic neutral aftershave - I must say the scent in AS is definitely better than soap. It's quite funny how in some cases I actually prefer the 'murkiness' that soap adds to the scent, whilst in other I don't.

After yesterday’s close shave my face was positively glowing all day…with razor burn. Three consecutive days using an AC blade had taken its toll on my baby soft skin. The SE1 was cutting too close, perhaps one to sell on after all.
This morning my skin had calmed down, but, I decided to take it easy with the Razorock Game Changer and GSB, which gives me a just okay but tidy shave, and definitely no irritation. I was going to move this razor on, but I’ve changed my mind.

A great shave as ever with this razor and blade combo
Excuse the absense guys and gals, lost me mum in November, and now my sisters in ICU, going to try to get back to some semblance of normality, in my head at least, if I can
Have a great day all.
Joe.
