SOTD : Saturday 3rd March - Friday 9th March 2018.

Thursday 8th March

RSC Facial Scrub and Olive Oil Soap
Vitos PreShave Cream
OSP Fougere Soap
Omega 10065 Boar Brush
Ming Shi 2000S Razor on 3.5 and 5.5 settings with a Gillette Super Thin Blade
Alum Block and Rinse
BBA PS Balm
Brut Eau de Brut AS

I have had a Futur for years and only bought the Ming Shi because it is cheap and I wanted to compare the performance. To my surprise I found it to be as good as the original (YMMV) and find myself reaching for it when I want an adjustable shave!
Due to @Blademonkey I have a tub of OSP Fougere and this provided a lather and scent I have come to expect of OSP soaps.

3 passes for a super smooth shave:)

This may be my last SOTD until next week. My partner and I leave for NI tomorrow morning for a long weekend. Preparations for the wedding are in order as time is marching on!

Enjoy your weekend and good luck with the wedding prep :)

Shave of the day, Wednesday 07 March 2018 - Birthday shave :)

Pre-shave - Warm shower, face wash Musgo Real Classic Glycerin Oil Soap, followed by warm water splash.
Cream - Bluebeards Revenge Shave Cream.
Brush - Simpsons Chubby 2 Synthetic.
Bowl - Little Wren Pottery.
Razor - Colonial The General SS.
Blade - Kai Captain (Pink) Mild (day 2).
Post shave - Myrsol After Shave Balsamic Water.

A great shave - read an interesting article on Executive Shaving, about a 2 pass shave - XTG and ATG.

Gave it a try - very impressive results: 2 passes XTG and ATG on the face with WTG and ATG on the neck.

Face still feels BBS 15 hours after my morning shave. I had ordered some OSP Barbour Shop cream and splash for my birthday, which was waiting for me when I came home. I did not need to shave and decided to leave my face alone.

I'm looking forward to trying out the OSP Barbourshop cream. I also orderd some Proline B30 blades :)

All the best,

Chris
Belated birthday wishes, I hope you had a great day :)
