Tuesday

white proraso pre post
Neo custom 2 band
Proraso green Soap
FT rocket + Red IP (2)
Thayers superhazel
Proraso ASB

result: 2 passes + touch ups, very smooth, no irritation.
I am definitely finding less is more, havent done a full 3 pass shave for a while now, getting very comfortable and close shaves with 2+touch ups.

That said, I have now just felt my face and found a little rough spot. BAH!:icon_mad:
 
Today, an herbal shave!

Pre Art of Shaving Unscented Oil + Nannys Bergamot&Coriander soft soap sample + Vie&Long Silvertip "AC Edition" + Feather Portable with Gillette Platinum #2 + Thayers Lavender "alum" + Herbissimo balm

A really good shave! Nannys soap worked well, although the scent wasn't remarkable (lavender essentially). And this Feather razor shaves very good, better than a Tech but still soft and smooth! Now I understand why is so worthy-valorated, hehe.

About the spanish balm, it's cheap, have and herbal citric scent and leaves the skin moisturized. A shame that today is discontinued...

Cheers!

Marshall Fields two band

Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation)

From the sublime to the ..........

Needed to be out quickly this morning so back to what used to be my workday routine. Shower, rinse, smear on some goo, wave the razor around for a couple of minutes. And out.

And to be fair, while not as satisfying or as close as usual, a perfectly acceptable shave. Wife was shocked that she kept me waiting for a change.
