SOTD: Saturday 9th - Friday 15th March 2019

Tuesday 12th March 2019 AM

Pre-shave:- Hot shower / Nivea Sensitive Face Wash / Proraso Red pre shave cream
Brush:- Stirling Finest Bardger
Soap/Cream:- The Shaving Shop Hedonisme soap
Razor/Blade:- Claymore V1 / Schick Proline
Post-shave:- Thayers Cucumber / The Shaving Shop Hedonisme aftershave / Bart's Balm Grapefruit and Pink Pepper aftershave balm



Not too good a shave this morning. Quite a few weepers and it was quite rough at times. I think I maybe applied pressure during my final ATG pass.

I had a hopping burn when I splashed on the aftershave but Barts Balm quickly put the fire out.

My face feels a bit hot but is calming down quite quickly.

Today's lesson - slow down and apply no pressure!

Have a great day folks!

Second shave with Feather razor. This time no blood letting, as I used it to shave my cheeks and neck only, concentrating on using the razor with a very light touch. The Parker on 3 was used for top lip and chin. Two passes, no drying lather this time, and an unbelievably smooth result. My neck and cheeks have never been so smooth.

Floid Black Aftershave

Meissner Lavender Deluxe certainly packs a punch in the scent department - you have to be a fan of lavender to get on with this cream.
It performs very well, and doesn't take much effort to whip up into a luxurious protective lather.
Finished with Floid Black Aftershave - same great performance as Mentolado Vigoroso, and a nice scent.

Yesterday I had a good Shave with a Razor fitted with a fresh blade. Today with the Claymore and a Proline on its 10th outing, the Shave was not only smooth and comfortable, but the finish quality all round was better than yesterday. I am going to make a return to Feather Pro blades but find it hard to believe they will last as long as the Schicks do.
