ROONEY'S FINEST SHAVE

Two Days Whiskers

MUSIC: Louis Armstrong Collected by Louis Armstrong, 2018

PRE-SHAVE:

- Hot Shower

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

BOWL: Barbearia do Bairro (PT)

SOAP: SMN (IT)

BRUSH: Rooney Finest Badger 3/2 24×54 mm (GB) -

This is my first shave with this amazing brush. It has everything :
- Excellent flow through; good backbone; feeling almost gelled but not gelled, because it is tempered with a subtle scritchy sensation.

While I prefer higher diameter knots this one does the job more than perfect and the fan loft makes it ideal for face lathering too.
Now I fully realize why Finest is legendary.

SR: Executive Shaving Co. Outlaw SS SB Super Grip Handle (GB) -

This scottish razor has a moderate blade gap, but excellent head geometry responsible for its high efficiency and smoothness.
The grip is a must.

BLADE: Lord Super Stainless (Egypt) -

At the top seven of my favorite blades, together with the Nacet, KCG, Perma-Sharp, Personna, Wizamet and Kai.

POST-SHAVE:

- 444 Alum-Block (PT)

- Aqua Velva Splash (US)

- Avène After-Shave Balm (FR)

THE SHAVE:

Three Passes, yet two would perfectly suffice.
A 10/10 Shave unquestionably and the best result for this year.
This Outlaw SR has been one of the best at my tricky pass XTG on Neck. It makes a perfect blade-buffing there, smooth and efficient. That reflects the ultimate quality of a shave for me.
