Blade: Personna Red (2)

Four days' growth was no obstacle to the Rockwell on plate 4. The first pass WTG left very little clean up. Swapped down to plate 2 for XTG and ATG leaving my first BBS in my 6 months of proper wet shaving.

Have a great evening.

Pre-shave:- Warm water rinse / Nivea Sensitive Face Wash / Proraso Green pre shave cream
Brush:- Executive Shaving Company Medium Jock Synthetic
Soap/Cream:- Proraso Green croap
Razor/Blade:- RazoRock Hawk V2 / Schick Proline (4)
Post-shave:- Thayers Cucumber / Floid Vigoroso aftershave / Proraso Green Post Shave balm



A cool and chilling menthol theme tonight.

As I did last night, everything was at a slow and methodical pace. The results speak for themselves.....another BBS finish and an incident free 3 pass shave.

My face is currently tingling with that fresh menthol feel.

With zero pressure and taking things at a slow pace I feel my skin can possibly manage daily shaving when using the Hawk. I'll see how things are tomorrow night and I may try 3 days with daily shaving. Fingers crossed!

Have a great night folks and here's to the week ahead! [emoji1303]
 
Sunday 10 February 2019

PreShave: Warm water, from the tap
Cream: GFT Rose
Brush: Kent BK8
Bowl: My recycled cream bowl
Razor: The Sledgehammer (Merkur 39C)
Blade Astra Platinum (2)
Post Shave: Alum

Fragrance: Floris 71/72

A good start to Sunday, the cream provided a nice pre-shower scent, a bit of a change from the TOBS Platinum Collection of yesterday (which has a refreshing soapiness to it). I'll have to wait a while and open a tub of cream from the other “T of St James's” to do a cream comparison test. (Too many open containers at the moment to justify to myself, and more importantly to SWMBO, opening another,)

Have a greay end to the weekend and a good week, folks.
