MRGLO pre shave soap.
New Forest shaving brush.
LEA classic shaving cream
Muhle R89 razor with Personna red #3
LEA classic aftershave lotion
Monotheme Vetiver Bourbon EDT.

Nice shave today, first time using the LEA cream together with the ASL, both purchased from Gemstone shaving (the cream was free). Have a good weekend Gents.

Fabulous shave. I'm not wild about the scent of XPEC (rich old ladies) but maybe as I get older it'll appeal more but the performance more than makes up for it.

Finished off with Myrsol Aqua Balsamica and had zero sting (on doubt thanks to the XPEC)

Your towel doesn't look very absorbent!

 

[p.b]

It's my glamour towel. Looks are far more important than how it works

[Burgundy]

Mongoose
WD silvertip
Frankensoap
No7 balm
Guerlain Vetiver

I'm coming to the gradual realisation that this is my favourite brush of those I've owned. It has sizeable implications for how I'll spec custom brushes in future; i.e. small, soft, and hybrid-fan shaped silvertips.
