Prep - Shower / Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam towel
Razor - Gillette Ball End Tech
Blade - Polsilver Super Iridium (#1)
Brush - Omega 20106
Soap - Arko with Eucalyptus & Lemongrass EO's
After - Frozen towel / Alum
Result - BBS
Still working through a re-run of my blade trails. My beard has changed in so many ways since I started with DE a year ago, I decided I needed to go through some blades again.
Totally different experience with the PSI tonight, none of the tugging that made me ditch it first time around. I never doubted they were one of the sharper blades but they planed right through four days growth without a single issue. Very comfortable, although I realise the Tech has a lot to do with that.
As for the soap, back to the ever faithful Arko. I keep trying other soaps but every time I return to Arko, it reinforces just how good it is. Pepped it up with four drops each of Eucalyptus & Lemongrass essential oils. Whilst the scent combination was fantastic , I didn't like the feel of it at the start, felt like it was burning me but having used them separately before, I pushed ahead. Glad I did because it numbed the hell out of me, to the point that I couldn't even feel the frozen towel I always use afterwards. For those that haven't tried it, stick with it, you won't want to go without it after you get used to it. Makes all the blood rush to your face after you remove it, bringing all that lovely oxygen with it.
All in all, a fantastic shave!

Excellent photo, gentlemen and a fantastic theme, this week! Have a beautiful day!
Thanks!
Fantastic!
Also thanks!
Great!
Helicon was used for a 2-shot focus stack. Photoshop did the animation.
And, one of these days, I'll learn how to properly process time lapse for smooth transitions!
The light was increasing exponentially!
Super! Love the organ cacti!
