- GEM SSC #6 - Alum - Electrif's Lemon Chill A/S - Dove Instant Hydration Cream

The new soap from OSP is great. The scent blend works perfectly. Fresh and cooling. Perfect for warm days. James's soap base suits me fine. It's very thirsty and leaves my face feeling great.
 
Mon !3th Aug
Omega 11126 boar
Speick Active soap
ES Claymore V1 + Windrose Handle
Schick Proline [ 5 ]
La Toja A/S Lotion

To say Todays Shave was good would be an understatement. All elements combined- Soap, Razor and Blade condition to provide a great Shave.Not only was it Smooth and comfortable, but with ease I was able to get rid of growth in the usual stubborn areas - a real face stroker.

The more I use this little known Razor the better it seems to get, and is giving some of its rivals a run for their money. Just realised that the Speick is getting low , and it is so good that it should be replaced, along with some of the bath soap that they sell.

YaqI 24mm Tuxedo Marble Handle
Pre De Provence No63
Rockwell 6C R4
Astra SP (1)
Pre De Provence No63 Balm
Mr Perfume Sublime Vanilla

Absolutely stunning performance from this beautifully scented French soap. It has it all - cushion, glide and slickness. . and that lovely scent.
Finished with the matching balm and Mr Perfume Sublime Vanilla, which I think compliments the balm quite well.

Carrying on the French theme . . ,

Don't blame me if you get caught watching this video !
 
Head SOTD
Prep: Shower
Cream: Nivea Sensitive
Brush: Yaqi Timber Wolf
Razor: Edwin Jagger Kelvin
Blade: Rapira Super Stainless (3)
After: Nivea Men 2 Phase Aftershave Lotion

Safe and simple shave, you know what to expect when using this razor and blade. 2 phase lotion gives a nice silk post shave feel but the cream was a surprise, it lathers extremely well, it's slick and highly recommended. And it smells like Nivea!

Prep: Warm splash, BBA Face Wash then Proraso Pre Shave Cream Eucalyptus and Menthol.
Cream: Alvarez Gomez Barberia
Brush: ES Medium Jock synthetic
Razor: Merkur 34c
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock Super Stainless (1)
Post: Cold rinse, Thayers Witch Hazel with Cucumber then Alvarez Gomez After Shave Balm followed by EAD Divulge EdT.

A bit of a Spanish theme tonight and a chance to really have a go with Alvarez Gomez Barberia shaving cream and after shave balm.

Usual prep then onto the lather. I just can't get enough of the AG Barberia. The citrus scent and underlying Mediterranean tones are first class. It takes a fair amount of water but after a minute or two the lather glistens and looks like silk.

The initial 2 passes were over quickly and the final pass was seamless. A few areas of buffing and J-hooking and I was done. After smearing on the leftovers, cleaning up and a cold rinse, I felt BBS. A splash of Thayers and application of AG Barberia balm and I felt great.

The AG Barberia is sublime. @Digimonkey

Back to the grind tomorrow!

All the best everyone! [emoji482]
