We hear people on forums all the time talking about their "desert island shave." This would have to rank up there with the best of them. The Rover is a remarkable brush. It is compact, maneuverable, and soft yet it packs the backbone to work soaps like a machine. The MNS soap is simply fantastic stuff. It generates a simple, luxurious lather with a great mix of cushion and glide and leaves my mug leaving soft and smooth. The face scraper that Max made is, in a word, incomparable! It is perfectly balanced, holds an edge remarkably well and the craftsmanship is impeccable. The Lucido is the perfect AS. Nearly scentless (other than a slight menthol) with a great balance of astringent and moisturizing properties. And the CdG is a must try for any vetiver fan. It packs a wonderful mix of affordability and very high quality in an earthy, citrusy vetiver root based fragrance!

Pre Prep + Tati Romero-lanolina soap + Semogue 1335 + UFO U2 "Long" with Gillette Tech head and Perma-sharp #2 + Myrsol Agua Balsámica with LEA balm


A smooth shave gentlemen, although this Tech head is too "soft" for my "hard" beard.


Cheers!

Day off work today, so had a nice leisurely shave.

Really nice shave. I can't see myself using a blade other than the Pro Guard, I get a really nice shave with it. I have Pro blades too so may well end up giving them another try some time, you know what it's like!
