Razor: Gillette Fat Boy (On Loan)
Blade: Astra SP #2
Brush: Hans Baier Silvertip 20mm
Soap: NSS, Moroccan Sands
Post: Aloe Vera 100% Gel
Splash: DR Harris Arlington
Cologne: DR Harris Arlington
A late night ( Early morning shave before bed this evening but I want to feel fresh.)
The on loan Gillette is proving to be a favourite of mine. Tonight I dialled the razor to #5 for a 2 pass shave.
Having used this razor yesterday and in all honesty I did not have much to contend with but we all know if we can get a shave in we will.
I only needed a 2 pass to bring me back to at least DBS.
I am a big fan of the Nannies Silly Soap and my first time using the "Moroccan Sands" was a pleasure. Thank you @Rowlers . As always a lovely slick, creamy lather with superb post shave qualities. I may even suggest the scent is better than the Lemon, Basil & Mandarin.
Another first with Hans Baier Silvertip. A brush with a little scritch but a lovely back bone. Worked perfectly for face lathering with the rather small tin of the NSS. Thank you @AaronW1983
Finishing with a gorgeous, fresh lemon filled scent I am ready for bed and the morning.
Good night everyone and have a lovely weekend.
Wayne.

Preshave: Hot water rinse + bloom water
Razor: Souplex OC Travel Razor
Blade: Perma-sharp Super (1)
Brush: Body Shop synthetic
Shave Soap: Wickham 1912 Magnum
Aftershave Balm: Bulldog Sensitive
Aftershave Lotion: M&S Harvard
Typical Wickham soap lather, what more can I say? The best shave yet with this razor. Either I've got the hang of it or the Perma-sharp blades suit it better. One small nick under the chin from a careless stroke, always a tricky area. I rate the result BBS, my wife marked it 8.5-9 out of 10.
Enjoy the weekend, gents.
Regards,
Chris

A little Saturday morning shave with the trusty Dama de Noche & a spritz of Still Life… does the job evertime!
