SOTD : 20th September 2020.

Shaving recipe for today.



Prep: Warm shower / Nivea Men ~ DEEP CLEAN Shower Gel.



Pre:


Cold wet flannel to my face.


Pears ~ Transparent Bar Soap + Wilko Men's shave Oil.


Brush: Omega 10051.


Bowl Lather.


Tesco's Ceramic 'Cosmo' Side Bowl.


Lather: 3P croap (Sample)


Blade: Personna Gem modified PTFE. (2)


Razor : Valet ~ Auto Strop VC1.



Post:

Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade peppermint , lavender eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Witch Hazel Mixture./Benjamins ~ Mentholated Bay Rum.

Creightons ~ Sensitive Post Shave Balm.


A relaxing sunday morning shave.


After the extremely close shave with the assertive Gem micromatic i only needed 2 passes + a pick up pass to make my face silky smooth again.

The wonderful valet vc1 looks an "aggressive lady" but IMHO it's quite mild however, that's not to say it isn't efficient this vintage lady will mow through face & head stubble with ease after the limited time it takes to adjust to this mild but efficient lady.

As always personal views judgements, & opinions are very subjective.

The 3P croap sample created a wonderful cushioned protective slick lather in a short space of time leaving a superb post shave feel.

Another very comfortable 2 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Creightons ~ Sensitive Post Shave Balm.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.😉

Stay safe, and enjoy you sunday ladies & gentlemen.😎

Beautiful day: it's still gray and cold.
I returned, coming across a beautiful pheasant, as fantastic as appetizing, and, fixed me a pool of tea, I am going to satisfy the cravings of the boundless plethora of lovers of artistic photos.

Today's shaving was pleasantly normal, although, at that time and at that temperature, a Floris would have been more appropriate.
However, on one side the EdT is at the end and on the other its warm fragrance would not have been suitable for the kind of day that is coming up.
