Sunday evening...
The Spitfire soap just seems to get better and better with each use. The combination of leather, juniper and tobacco seems to me redolent of fuel oil. I'm not sure if this was intentional by Kerry @phoenixandbeau; but it does seem to underscore the aviation heritage, as well as that of his family.
.. As has become customary, after the final cold rinse, the remaining soap gets squidged on to my face (I refuse to waste soap). As well as checking for any areas for buffing, I leave it on whilst clearing up my kit. It just seems to enhance the post-shave feel.
Finished off with the Proraso. Excellent.

Have a great time P.Greetings
Monday 9th April 2018
Prep: Shower
Razor: Muhle R41 (2013)
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharpedge (Yellow Pkt)
Brush: Thater 2 Band Fan
Cream: G.F.C.C. Caribbean Lime
Aftershave: Astral Cream (soft)
EDT: Fan de Fendi Assoluta
I shall not be using these blades again, they certainly cut and shave super close but they have an unpleasant 'angry' aggressive face feel much like Feather's, IMHO all the other 7 O'Clock blades are nicer to shave with.
I'm off to Fuerteventura early Wednesday so a late evening shave tomorrow, see you in a couple of weeks.
Regards
Dick.
