RazoRock Syn. 22mm
P & B Spitfire
Alu. General + S/S handle
Schick Proline ( 5 )
Pitralon Original A/S Lotion

Busy day today.Goodish Shave as I used too much pressure using the Alu. General, as despite the use of a heavy handle I still felt it too light. I prefer my Heavy weights, so must persevere with this one as it feels good in the hand.

Prep: Warm rinse with Nivea Sensitive Face Wash then Proraso Pre Shave cream Eucalyptus and Menthol
Soap: Proraso Red Sandalwood and Shea Butter
Brush: Executive Shaving Medium Jock synthetic
Razor: Merkur 34c
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (1)
Post: Cold rinse, Thayers Witch Hazel with Cucumber followed by Superdrug Forest Fresh aftershave then BartsBalm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine.

My first use of a Polsilver blade today. It was recommended by other members and it went well with the Merkur 34c.

I'm not however convinced about the Proraso Red soap, as the slickness just doesn't seem to be there compared with other creams/soaps, including the Proraso Green. I'll give it another try in a few days with the Fatboy. I've had a few shaves with the Fatboy now and every one has been really enjoyable! I'll see if the Proraso Red affects it in any way.

As to tonight's shave, 3 passes and some touch ups and I'm BBS. Splashing on the Thayers had me smiling. A big handful of The Superdrug aftershave gave a satisfying quick burn which had me smiling even more. A huge intake of breath and the scent hit home! Lovely.

Finishing off with the BartsBalm and my skin is smooth and supple. A good shave tonight though I'm not convinced about Proraso Red soap. Time will tell.

Have a great night folks. [emoji1360]
