Monday Shave

Proraso SS
Tweezerman Badger
Gillette 1940s Superspeed
Astra SP (1)
Alum block
SCS "New Spice" EDT

CCS in 1 pass. Late for an early morning meeting - so the SS had to get it done in one pass... Very nice job - wouldn't try it with just any razor.

Thought for the Day: "Focus on what really matters - stop wasting time worrying about things that you cannot change..."

Predopo Vitos
Vulfix 2234h TGN Finest
Nivea Suave
Mühle R101
Iridium Super
Thayer's Witch Hazel Lemon
Floïd Vigoroso

Don't know if Floïd Vigoroso is used in some Spanish barbershops, but is surely used in the Portuguese ones - a good example is Barbearia Campos, in the historic centre of Lisbon. Founded in 1886, it is one of the oldest barbershops in Europe, if not the oldest. It is still active nowadays in the very same facilities since its foundation - something that not even T&H can claim.

Nice! I've always wondered, how does a lather catcher work?
