[Shemen Zait]

Weekend routine established!

For reason of skin healthcare my only razor during the week is the 37c as I can do a daily shave DFS and get on with it.

However Sat evening is my luxury time where BBS is all the rage [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

Razor: R41
Blade: Lab Blue (1)
Brush: Omega 49
Pre: Noxzema
Cream: TOBS Avocado
ASL: Alpa Classique
ASB: Nivea sensi

Lush, all I can say is absolutely Lush!

 

[Burgundy]

Pre: RazoRock/HTGAM mentholated lime soap
Soap: Super Smooth - Wickham Soap Co. - English Fern
Brush: RubberSet-400 replica with 24mm TGN boar
Razor 1: Wadsworth XLNT
Razor 2: Ikon ShaveCraft 102 slant w/ SE handle
Blade: NOS UK Wilkinson Sword (7)
Post: Thayer's witch hazel, followed by Penhaligon's English Fern
First time with this brush and soap...Wow! Soap performed superbly. Boar knot is softening up and should turn out great. I've never used a boar brush before today, this one is very nice. Pass-1 with the Wadsworth, pass-2 & 3 with the slant.

Wickham in English Fern sounds like perfection!

It was! Very nice indeed.

How closely has he managed to approximate the scent?

VERY close. I'm no bloodhound, but I can't tell the difference between them.

Tabula Rasa Steam Punk
Myrsol Aqua Balsamica



At first I wasn't sure about the scent of Steam Punk but now I love it. I'm a bit concerned that it's reacting with my skin as it's feeling just a little tender. I'll be using it for the next 3-4 days and that'll let me know... Other than that a wonderful shave.
