Shave #4
- Still In -

  • AOS Bourbon SOTMC, GRUYERE
  • Simpson's Duke3 - Best
  • Mühle r89
  • Astra Green SP
  • Stirling's Glacial Scarn Splash
AOS has always been such a nice little treat to use. I have to be a little more cognizant these days which brush to use as with creams, I generally start off in a lathering bowl before taking to face. Simpson Commodores seem perfect for this purpose. The Duke a little less.
 
Still in despite some meandering and a wandering eye walk through soaps on line. A great shave with a beautiful late summer scent for late summer in the No. 63 scent.
Razor: Eversharp Krona
Blade: Gillette Nacet (9) and final use
Bowl: Pereeira
Brush: Kent 23mm Synthetic
Soap: Pre de Provence No. 63
AS: PdP No 63 Balm and EDT

Have the PDP products as above snd love them. Wish they did an. EDP. They’d have a fanboy in 🇬🇧
 
Day 4, 13.3% complete

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Cubebe
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #1
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

Loaded a fresh green Astra, and I got a very acceptable near-BBS.

Would I like a high-end DE? Of course I would, but I'd have to calibrate my aspiration by asking whether the functionality was as good as my .84 Game Changer. I think it was only about £65 on the usual auction site, probably > £100 now.
