The Intercontinental All Italian Shave-Off
W1D3


We started with my friend SteveWY an interesting project:
The Intercontinental All Italian Shave-Off


Two of us Badger & Blade members from the USA and Italy are partnering in an Intercontinental All Italian Shave-Off! We hope all B&B members with interest and experience with Italian shaving products or really the Italian experience will follow the thread and perhaps even join in and share your thoughts and experiences with us! Let me introduce ourselves and how we came to this point...

W1D3
Due to this hot summer, I'm skipping the ATG pass. I was tempted due the time constraints to make only one pass. I cannot skip on preparation and lathering but I can skip one pass. But the lather was do rich and enjoyable that I went for my usual 2 passes and some touch ups.


Fatip is a joy and Bolzano is getting milder and more forgiving. Also more enjoyable for sure. I just hope it will last until all this week!


Pre: A good shower, and a hint of Proraso Red Preshave
Brush: Omega 21762 Italian Flag
Razor: Fatip Grande Gold
Blades: Bolzano SuperInox (3)
