Omega 10108 boar……silky smooth and luxurious feel
La Toja cream
Heritage Shaving Gibbs replica
Gillette 7 O’Clock super platinum
A top notch lather made with the Omega boar helped to deliver a DFS+. Had the Gibbs replica set at 4….next time I’d go a lower setting …very slightly harsh and some minor neck irritation but super close and smooth end result. I put a stiffer spring in the Gibbs and it feels much tighter and more precise to me. I like the Heritage razor a lot.
Merry Christmas folks!!

  • Blade: Derby Premium with chromium-ceramic-platinum-tungsten and polymer coated edges (8)

The streak of perfect 10 BBS shaves continues. The Athena provided a typically superb shave that is more efficient on the second pass (ATG) vs. the first pass (WTG). Choosing the Stirling Christmas Eve is a no brainer today. Although I like the Stirling soaps, I don't love them. They lack just a tiny bit of slickness, but they do a very good job anyway.

My shave scoring log is found HERE.

Happy shaves everyone :badger:

Razor: Fatip Piccolo
Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum (2nd use)
Brush: Omega 10810
Preshave: Proraso Green
Soap: Pino Silvestre
Aftershave: Proraso Green
Eau de Cologne: Agua Lavanda Puig

Christmas morning shave (already the big day here in Australia). Quick two pass shave, socially presentable and comfortable, fought the temptation to push it further. Predicted top of 32 C/90ish F, beautiful clear and sunny day, so a little menthol was appreciated, and the Pino Silvestre is the closest I have to a festive soap.
