22 June 2018

Preshave: Hot water rinse + bloom water
Razor: Pal Injecto-Matic
Blade: Chinese Schick (4)
Brush: New Forest Badger
Shave Soap: Tabac
Aftershave Balm: Nivea Sensitive Cooling
Aftershave: Tabac

An enjoyable shave where everything simply works. Tabac has grown on me since my early uses and is one of the best all round performers. I'm intrigued by the scent so the AS (a recent present) just rounds off the experience.

I'm near BBS and refreshed. Have a good day.

Regards,
Chris

Wednesday.
Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: Barbaros TR-1
Blade: Treet Black Beauty
Brush: ‘Il Cinghiale’ (Zenith EURO/RX)
Soap: Skullbuster: Kumbaya
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / L'Occitane Cade After Shave Balm

decided to throw caution to the wind with this shave, and try the TR-1 with a Black Beauty, and.... despite the fact that I've used blades that were far worse, and the shave was actually quite good, it's not one I'll be reaching for often..


Friday.
Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: ‘The Rock’ (Rockwell 6S – #3)
Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra
Brush: 'The Duke' (Duke 3 Best)
Soap: Shannon's "Lit"
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Chatillon Lux Santal Auster Post-Shave Salve

OK, I'll hold my hands up, and admit to the fact that I'd totally forgotten how good Shannon's regular base is... having been super impressed with their Rust Belt Reserve offering, which really is outstanding, I was keen to revisit "Lit", and colour me chuffed, what a fantastic lather.... and with the Gillette Bleue Extra getting better with every shave, I was rewarded with a totally sublime shave... HELL YEAH!!

I grated my previous Speick stick into a bowl and recently had a great shave with it. Wanting a new travel setup I bought a new stick and aftershave combo using a Father's day gift card.

The Chubby 2 synth loads enough soap in 20 seconds to shave a football pitch. Delightful grapefruit scented soap.
