Shaved August 20, 2014


PRE: Oil Floid with warm water

RAZOR: Feather Frank Shaving + # 5

BRUSH: Antiga barbearia of bairro

SOAP: Antiga barbearia of bairro

FOAM: Joint and comfort foam

A luxurious foaming it brochita and this soap with the fragrance so rich that has given me so much to foam for comfort.
The Frank Shaving shaving is very permissive style of Edwin Jagger so I have given three passes and some retouching.

Floid Blue, Nivea balm, Geurlain Extreme Vetiver


As much as I enjoyed being away and took a good kit to shave with, there's something nice about shaving in one's own den. I'm taking a break from my Jermyn Street Titanic effort to at least check out a handful of items that have been sitting and staring at me. The Petrichor is a nice, organic and earthy scent, but not a fougere (no ferny notes). I like it, but with it were a bit stronger. The Tre Citta vegan formula performs as well as most tallow soaps I've used (to me). All in all, a great shave.

Coate’s Sandalwood today. It just about lathers itself! Always a winner! The Rapira Swede and Slim always come through just fine too. I got an excellent smooth, close, and nick free shave. I finished with Pino.
