Bart's Balm Lavender ASB

A beautiful Lavender themed Sunday morning shave.
The Taj still has some way to go before it reaches the heights of the 2012 SE....but it is getting there. It will probably accompany me on my trip to N Ireland this week and can have more intensive use. I have a son graduating with a Masters in Engineering and some final things to sort out for my wedding next month. (God.....did I say NEXT month:eek:)

3 passes for a completely perfect shave:) Enjoy the rest of your weekend

Sun 1 July

Warm water head and face shave

Prep: Showe
Razor: Feather MR3 Neo / Rex Supply Co. Ambassador (#3 / 2.5 / 2)
Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword (#1)
Brush: RazoRock F400
Soap: Palmolive shave sticks grated and pressed into a bowl
Post: BBA Post Shave Balm, Terre D'Hermes EDP

Head shaved in the shower with the Feather MR3, which to date hasn't caused any issues for head shaving and does the job more than adequately. Lathered up with the brute of a brush that the F400 is and could have shaved myself twice over with the amount of lather it produced. The Ambassador kept the shave together as the blade felt rough as hell, but three passes done and the BBA PSB did it's job on the head and face. A few squirts of Hermes, a quick coffee and I'm off to the meet up in Dundee, so a couple of hours in the car and even my good lady thinks I smell lovely.

Having not given the Palmolive Stick any air time for over a year I thought I would give it a whirl today.
The verdict? . . . Excellent in all respects. Post Shave feel is exceptional. Absolutely hydrated and suppleness galore.
Finished with Hugo Boss Original.
Fresh as a daisy and very smooth.
