Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
Blade: Shark SS @2
Soap: TSD Iced Sub Zero
Brush: Bestshave #7 Horse Hair
A/S: Aqua Velva

I forgot to take a camera with me again... but nonetheless awesome:

- shower w/ Haci Sakir soap
- Palmolive soap (stick), Cerrus badger (drugstore brand)
- Edwin Jagger 89 w/ Feather @1
- Mennen Skin Bracer

Pure fun. This could basically be the setup for a "best value for money" themed week; maybe save for the blade, which is not cheap, but one of the best and worth its price.

Y'all have a good one!

If you like talc, you could use classic, and inexpensive, Pinaud's Clubman AS, then use Habit Rouge or Equipage as the edt.

Today, samples shave!





Pre Jabonman bath soap sample + Jabonman Lily-Cedar-Sandalwood + Vie&Long 16910 "two bands edition" + Merkur Futur at 2.5 with Personna Prep + "Professor Blighty Yellow Ginger" lotion sample with The Real Shaving


This Jabonman soap performs really well, but unfortunately the scent is too "femenine" for me (I didn't see any cedar-sandal scent).


And I have tested for the first time this "Profesoor Blighty" lotion sample [/i]which he has gently sent me (thanks mate!): the scent is sweet, really sweet.. very different to other citric lotions I have tested, hehe. I have mixed it with balm because I had a bit of irritation but in other ocasion I'll try to use it alone.


Cheers!
