This morning's shave - second run with the NEW Long Comb, and far, far better than the first!

This shave was much more like it! The Rover worked effortlessly on the Arlington, which yielded an amazing pillowy lather. And the Damascus and ivory piece of art that is this razor simply wiped away two days worth of growth with nary a glance at the two healing cuts from Monday's gaff. After two passes and some cleanup, my Hollywood mug was smooth and soft. The Lucido was, as usual, a phenomenal way to reset the skin. And the Blenheim Bouquet is simply regal.

Today, a full eucaliptus shave!





Pre Prep + Prep shaving cream + Simpson Duke3 Best + Weber ARC Bulldog with Permasharp #1 + Myrsol Fórmula K + Razorock Wax Eucaliptus


A superb shave gentlemen! Although this Prep crem has turned "liquid", it still does good foam. About the Weber, definitely it will be from now my favorite razor: it shaves really easy and makes a clean smooth-shaven without any problem it you uses a good blade.


Cheers!
