Brush: Turkish No.6

The Wild Rain is the king of masculinity, I suspect this is actually an EDT as it is lasting for over 8 hours.

Yep, love them. An extra 10-20mm on that one and it would be perfect for me.
It suits the tech a little better, but works nicely with the DE89.
I'll have to dig my New Long Comb out to try...

Prep: Hot Shower, massaged in vosene shampoo (am I the only one who loves the smell).
Soap: Proraso Green tub.
Brush: Vie-Long Horse/badger mix.
Razor 1: Kropp 6/8 round point.
Razor 2: EJDE89.
Blade: Rapira platinum Lux #1.
Post: Proraso Green.

Very nice 3 pass plus touch ups with EJ89, I made the mistake the other week of dismantling all my DE's and cleaning them all in the same bowl. I found that the EJ89 head cap and the Razorock Jaws cap are almost identical... one is slightly smaller than the other. I am not sure if I have assembled them with the correct caps.. Oh well lol.

I had some success with XTG with my kropp, above the jaw line no problem, below is still a bit patchy which is why I used the EJ89 to clean up. First time using the Rapira blades and so far it seems very smooth, overall my skin feels smooth and clean.

Enjoy your day folks
Jim
 


If Carlsberg made DE razors... they'd make a stainless steel version of the Progress with a knurled handle and knob.

Used with XPEC and I'm feeling gorgeous.

Have a good weekend everyone.
