Hot shower prep with Old Spice Swagger body wash

Two days worth of beard and a blade on its third shave. This is a surprisingly close comfortable shave. The Leponix traded out a thick luxurious lather. The Astra blade cut smoothly and efficiently in all directions. The witch hazel closed things out. The Gillette gel did its part to cool things off and fresh guy brought a spring vibe.

Greetings,

Early morning shave.

A comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

I really like the Proraso blue shaving cream it creates a nice creamy slick protective lather with only a small amount in a short space of time. The residual slickness is excellent leaving a superb post-shave from the addition of the Aloe Vera and vitamin E making my mature skin feel soft & moisturized after the shave.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous splash of Superdrug Sierran Breeze ASL.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine.😉

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.😎

Following yesterday's rough and raw feeling, I needed a change of pace. The Bohemia / Feather combo gave a sublime, mellow shave - I switched from Side A (mild 0.95) to Side B (wild - 1.35) after pass 1, and was rewarded with a close and irritation free finish.
