Composition, reflection and angle make it really pop
 
Prep: Shower with Baxter’s face scrub

Pre: None

Soap: TOBS lime zest

Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia

Razor: EJ Kelvin

Blade: Astra SP

Post: Alum, Clinique moisturising lotion, TOBS No. 74 Victorian Lime.
A great shave after a fabulous trip to London! Best cream hands down I’ve used for thickness and slickness. It smells stronger than most too and I now know why TOBS are consider one of the original top 3 T’s. Can’t wait to try the almond tomorrow. I love strong soaps and I after lusting jealously over a number of hard to get American and European artisan creams I now realised I should have been looking closer to home!

Razor: 60's Gillette Tech
Blade: Feather (1)
Post: TDS Kayaput ASL, Baxter's Balm

Determined to get the Tech to sing, I recently solicited advice on what blade to use. Previous shaves had been OK, but no more than that. THis was my first time using a Feather through any razor, and it was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting a madman, but it is a sharp but sensible blade. It paired wonderfully for a DFS with virtually no feedback from the aftershave. Still some work to do on dialling the Tech in fully - no doubt that blade angle is key - but today was a marked improvement on any previous result with the Tech.

Truly an awesome soap! Rich, creamy, very slick plus an excellent scent too!
An enjoyable shave with the razor paired with the blade. It was smooth and comfortable in 3passes for a mostly bbs finish. Aftershaves were fantastic on this oven-hot day!
