Pre: Proraso green pre-shave cream
Cream: Xpec
Brush: Orchid Isles 24mm Silvertip on Curly Koa handle
Razor: EJ DE89 with Ikon handle
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock black (2)
Post: Thayer's witch hazel, followed by vintage California Bay Rum
First time with the Xpec. Really nice lather, but not inspired by the "unscented". Thought I'd treat myself today with a 1981 vintage bay rum. Very refined bay rum, not 'in-your-face' like most. Wonderful 3-pass BBS.

Friday

Prep: Hot Shower-Stirling Cocoa Butter Bath Soap
Soap: Maggard Limes & Bergamot
Razor: Gillette Slim [6]
Blade: Rapira Swedish Supersteel (4)
Brush: Plisson Lucite #12 Grey Badger-22mmx56mm
Aftershave: Fine Italian Citrus

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

A “Top 5” morning with Maggard Limes & Bergamot. Excellent thick, cushioning lather with a great scent in no time with the Plisson. The Rapira Swede in the Slim is doing just fine. I got an excellent smooth, close, and nick free shave. I finished with Fine Italian Citrus.
