The window's missing, but at 2:30 a.m. it wasn't usable.

I felt like Floris and that's exactly why I used it.
Merkur's slant, armed with SOC, was very mild even against the grain.

I changed the balsam because I wanted a different feeling.
And I had to look for the Strauss CD.
It was the last one: I should have started from the bottom...

Preshave: Hot water rinse
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89KN
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless (2)
Brush: New Forest Badger
Shaving Soap/Cream: Floris No89
Aftershave Balm: Nivea Skin Revitaliser 2in1
Aftershave: TOBS Sandalwood ASL

Birthday shave today using quality soap and ASL presents from my wife (she's a good girl!).

I believe the soap was a favourite of Winston Churchill but either way it easily generates generous volumes of creamy, subtly scented lather, ably whipped by the NF brush. The shave was a joy and the finish a bloodless BBS, marked a birthday 10/10 but more honestly 9/10. A rare good second shave with a Featherless for me, normally my experience is the same as Rowlers', two shaves and done. TOBS Sandalwood rounded off a sublime start to the day.

Happy shaves, all.

Regards,
Chris

Wishing you a very happy birthday Chris P.

Goodbye Valobra and goodbye B&M Reserve ASL. The Valobra cannot be replaced but the ASL can and already has been.
