Back home after a few lovely days on the South coast.
The bathroom in the caravan wasn't very spacious, so it was nice to carry out ablutions in my own bathroom.

Tonight's shave

Hot bath/ Nivea Men Active Clean
Proraso Red Pre Shave
EJ89/Shark SS (1)
Proraso green soap
Razorock 400 Plissoft Noir
Hot/cold rinse
Proraso Green ASL

This was my first use of the Shark SS blade. I can confirm that these blades are very sharp. At the same time quite smooth
I paired it with the DE89 for my first run with it. I quite like the blade, next time I'll try one in either a Futur or a 37C.
A good three pass shave was had, and no problems or bloodshed.
This was my first use of Proraso ASL too.
The cooling effect is really nice and it smells great.

HAGWE

A trip down memory lane this morning, taking the 55 Red Tip out for a spin. She was fueled up with a Vintage Gillette, and really broke loose on the slickness created by the Rubberset Silvertip and Ghost Town Barber (my this is great soap). I finished the trip with some English Leather. A Tepco vintage china coffee mug hung out with us this morning as well. Have a blessed day gentlemen.

A corker of a shave following a light touch up of the razor on my Air Raid shelter Shobudani kiita. Very quick to produce a keen edge that is very comfy indeed.

Whilst a smooth and comfortable shave, I think the razor is due a wee refresh! I received some Speick aftershave and was pleasantly surprised with the finish. Nearly as good as my Wickhams but not quite there!
