CARNIVAL SHAVE

Two Days Whiskers

MUSIC: Script For A Jester's Tear by Marillion, 1983

PRE-SHAVE:

- Hot Shower

- Proraso Pre-Shave Cream Cypress and Vetyver (IT)

BOWL: SV Shaving Grail (IT)

SOAP: Truefitt & Hill Mayfair (GB)

BRUSH: Morris & Forndran Butterscotch Heritage II TH Blonde Badger 52 × 28 mm (GB) -

Almost gelled, but not gelled. Slightly pricky, spiced but not scritchy. With more backbone than a common Silvertip. That's Blond Hair. That's Lee Sabini.

SR: Rex Envoy (US) -

While being nice this razor never gave me a 10/10 Shave. Today was no exception. It gets very close and yet stays too far.

BLADE: Wizamet Iridium Super Extra Stainless (RU) (4)

- Another excellent performance.

POST-SHAVE:

- 444 Alum-Block (PT)

- Gillette Coolwave After Shave (D)

- Cosmia Men After-Shave Balm (FR)

THE SHAVE -

A 9.25/10.

I wish the Rex Envoy was a bit more efficient because I like the razor.
A razor that never completely vanquishes my neck's stubbles - independently from which blade loads it. And I can't go on in an endless blade-buffing over there without getting an irritation. So I stop much before that happens.
Better a Nine than an Eleven Ouch!

This will be my kit through Friday while visiting in Northern Virginia. The Tabac didn’t lather well at all today and I’m starting to feel the Timeless bowl I bought for travel is just too deep. Despite all this the results were excellent and seeing my grandson is even better.
