Un saludete

Prep: Hot shower
Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Personna Platinum (4)
Brush: Fred Shave Pure
Cream: Palmolive
Post: L’Occitane Cedar & Orange AS Balm


Sorry, no Rose or Chocolate creams. Spent the weekend in Strasbourg. Picked up a tube of Palmolive at the Auchan grocery store. I figured for €1.60 ($2.18), I could take a chance. Seemed to take longer to lather up as compared to TOBS or Proraso and felt as though it dried on my face quicker, but still not bad.

Domingo 9:
- Jabón: Stick Valobra
- Brocha: Eldruida Pangea HWM
- Navaja: Antonio Pedrosa +8/8 con punta española y cachas de asta de toro de lidia
- After: Institut Karite

Nuevo afeitado con esta maravillosa navaja (creo que ya van 4 o 5 afeitados con ella). La navaja cada día afeita más suave, pero en esta semana que viene voy a recibir una Shapton 16K y creo que quedará el filo suave, suave como a mi me gusta. La navaja aunque tiene un gran vaciado (la navaja artesana más vaciada que he visto), no flexa tanto como las Filarmónicas, por lo que en el afeitado uno se siente muy seguro, y sin nada de irritación, cosa que agradecemos los que tenemos la piel más sensible.



Un saludo: Arturo
