Gillette Fat Boy
Feather (1)
Phoenix and Beau Borealis
Alum Block, BBA Post Shave Balm & Old Spice Wolfthorn

Holy Moley! What a combination, you know when everything just clicks. I haven't had good experience with Feathers in the past, but after over a year I tried one again. What a perfect combination, smooth and comfortable at setting 4. One of the best shaves I have had, no sting or discomfort from the post shave alum. The Wolfthorn is lovely, a nice citrus burst. I must say I am looking forward to seeing how the Feathers so in the Fat Boy, may need to invest in a few more.​

Greetings,

Apologies for no shaving write ups for the last couple of days, to be honest – Lego'd out. Who the heck am I kidding, loving every minute of building with my boys and still plenty of boxes left to go. I could bore you with the Star Wars, Avengers and Minecraft Lego model, but I will save your sanity.

Pre Christmas, I continued using the Gillette Nacet for shaves 4 and 5. It continued to perform well and will definitely be added to my den. Was given a couple of samples from @Agent Shave, being P&B Pall Mall and Wickham Citrus Musk aftershave balm.

P&B – Pall Mall was superb, lovely lather, slick and cushioning and the scent was there, don't get me wrong it was / is very pleasant, just not strong enough (maybe that was because I had a sample – which means having to buy the full tub)

Wickham 1912 Citrus Musk – very pleasant scent but I product itself a bit over greasy on my skin and took a while to full absorb.

Blade testing will re-commence once I am back into my normal week at work which will be in a couple of weeks. So…

Wednesday shave

Two (ish) day growth and warm shave

Preparation – Showered then face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)
Soap: Razorook XXX
Razor: Gillette Slim Twist (white handle)
Blade: Treet Platinum (sample thanks to @Agent Shave)
Brush: RazoRock Plisoft 24mm (face lather)
Post Shave: Hot then cold water rinse, Nivea 2 Phase followed by Molton Brown Black Pepper AS.

What a great shave – I wish I have kept to Treet blade for my test – I was tempted, but could not resist trying it this morning. 3 passes result with a smoother than smooth feel. I might stop using the blade and buy more and add it to my test.

I hope everyone had a wonderful festive period – it's not over, so stay safe and no drink driving

Cheers,


Brian

Glad to hear you have been making good use of the samples we sent. P&B Pall Mall is a very gentle scent compared to other Barbershop profiles. The sample we send is cut from a full tub so would be exactly as is. Will be interested to hear if you put the Treet blades to test!

Happy New Year from us all at Agent Shave
