Pre Shave: Hot Shower + L'Oreal Pure Power Charcoal Face Wash and Proraso Green
Razor: GEM Featherweight
Blade: GEM SS PTFE (#2)
Brush: Semogue 610
Soap: OSMA
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Humphreys Witch Hazel
AS: Proraso Aloe Vera balm (Blue)
Cracking shave this morning, the Featherweight needs 3 passes but almost got away with 2. The OSMA soap is a mixed bag, I had to reload after the 1st pass as the lather in the brush seemed to fade, but the lather seemed to last fine on the face, odd. So while it is not up there with the great soaps the post shave feel was great, even before applying balm my skin felt great. The soap does not have a great smell, just kind of soapy but not strong and the small pot and puck size makes lathering a bit awkward, that is why I picked the Semogue as it was small enough. Using a brush like my Maseto 30mm would have been comical.
