An excellent leisurely shave today enhanced by 1.5 days growth which is probably the optimum stubble length for me. Perma-Sharp's in my Black Beauty is a combination I've not tried previously. I wish I had as for they are an excellent match. Mike's is an excellent soap, although the tallow creeps out into the scent slightly, performance is absolutely spot on. The eShave balm is also excellent in the winter. Very nourishing.

Merry Xmas everybody :)

I really enjoy Pulp too @Wazzer3. One of the longest lasting fragrances I own & I've heard it has been discontinued.

Pre:
Warm shower, St.Ives apricot face scrub.
Cold water splash & then bloom water.

Razor/blade: Merkur 45c + Boots/personna(1)

Brush: TGC stubby 26mm Synth.

Soap: P&B Spitfire (Xmas pressie, lush)

Post: Myrsol F/Extra (Xmas pressie)

A wonderful shave.
P&B excellence & I smell goooood.

Boxing Day...

Full house today, so no photo: Anyhoo -

Soap - Gentleman's Groom Room Highland Bothy
Brush - RazoRock Plissoft 24mm synth.
Face lather
Razor - Schick E3
Blade - Personna SE #2
Post - Thayer's and Floïd MV

Great soap - reminiscent of peat fires in the Scottish Highlands. It performs well too. I am partial to the 1912 variants in SE land; but the Schicks are in a class of their own. BBS.

Hope yesterday was all you and yours hoped for.

Be safe and well.

Stephen.
