Merkur 34C with a new personna med prep blade
Mama Bear toasted coconut
AoS brush
Cat o Nine tails A/S

I purposely overloaded the brush this morning because I planned on doing a 4 pass shave. The shave went extremely well. One of the best I have had in a while. I find when I switch between blades it takes me a coupe blades to dial in my technique again but once I do I get a great shave.
 
Today, a 100% italian shave!





Pre Chipre Imperial soap + old Omega lanolized shaving cream + Omega Nº45 boar+ Fatip black chrome with Bolzano #3 + Proraso lotion with Omega balm


Very fresh and clean! This Fatip is not very agressive, or at least not as many people claim, hehe


Cheers!

It's Shark week! Started the day off with an okay shave. The Shark seemed to tug a little. My parents are coming down for breakfast, so I must be clean shaven. Just relaxing with Do now. He keeps walking up to me and saying Mmmmm. Laughing. Must be the stink.

Wilkinson Sword brush
Super Speed with Nacet
Proraso Blue shaving cream
Unscented moisturizer
Old Spice aftershave

Man, I really like this Proraso Blue cream. It smells great and it lathers beautifully exactly like the other Proraso creams and soaps. It also has a cooling effect, although nowhere near as much as the Green or even the White. Not quite BBS, but still very smooth and comfortable.
