Aleppo soap- Shave pre wash
Stirling Syn 26mm
Mondial Tabacco Verde
Aylesworth Atelier
Feather Pro ( 4 )
Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

Now 4 Shaves in, and nice to confirm that I have not brought a Pig in a Poke. Got a super rich Lather with The Mondial, which made for a good Shave. Just need to work it better around my lower lip, otherwise super close.

Notes: Another fantastic shave tonight, I am really enjoying the Signature Soaps Novus Spice set.
I can't empathise enough just how close the scent is especially on the dry down.
Watch that lather because you might mistake it for ice-cream and throw a Flake at it ha ha.

Microtouch TTO razor
Treet silver carbon steel blade
Leponix synthetic brush
Real Shaving Company professional formula shaving cream
Up & Up witch hazel
Afta fresh aftershave balm
Fine'ry Two Billion eau de parfum

Warm shower prep with Old Spice Fiji bodywash

It was time to go with a fresh carbon steel blade. They just can't hold an edge as long as stainless. Th Real Shaving Company cream built a good lather even though it did fling some suds around the sink. Two passes with extra attention yielded a close comfortable shave. The witch hazel cleared up the soap irritation and the Afta soothedout the shaving scrapes. I'm working on finishing the sample vial.

I'd like to thank everyone for their kind birthday wishes and sage advice in navigating my seventies.
