Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: Omega 20102 Boar
Soap: Proraso Green
Razor: Rex Ambassador @4 (on loan)
Blade: Polsilver Lodz
Post: Cold water rinse, Proraso Green ASL
My final shave with the Rex Ambassador and having only used it with very slick soaps, I wondered how it would cope with a decent middle of the road soap.
Also, while the brush was soaking and after the photo, I decided to shave one half of my face with the Gibbs No.15 (@4) loaded with an Astra SP.
As suspected the Gibbs glided more smoothly and the slimmer profile of the head made tidying up under the nose a bit easier, but the actual finished shave was identical and there was zero feedback from the alum block on each side.
Thanks again to Rob (@Blackmass) for letting me test drive this incredibly beautiful razor
Happy Shaving one and all.
