Pre-shave:- Warm rinse / Proraso Red Pre Shave cream
Brush:- Executive Shaving Company Medium Jock Synthetic
Soap/Cream:- Reef Point Soaps Calming Spice soap
Razor/Blade:- Rockwell 6c R3 / Gillette Green (2)
Post-shave:- Thayers Cucumber / Bart's Balm Lavender Oil / Floid Vigoroso aftershave
Another recent acquisition used with Reef Point Soap's Calming Spice. It has a distinctive appearance being a dark brown soap and the scent is almost coffee like. Almost cappuccino like. It took a bit of work to get a lather going though I do think it's been sat unused for a while. Once the water has worked it way into the soap it explodes. A good lather which painted on nicely.
A 3 pass shave with a few pickups and I had reached BBS. The lather provided a nice cushion and glide, but oddly during my 2nd and 3rd passes I could feel a very light tingle on my skin immediately after reapplying. It wasn't a burn, more like the start of a burn....if that makes sense.
With the slight irritation I expected a good burn when I slapped on the Floid aftershave but there was next to nothing. Likewise, Bart's balm had no reaction, just a nice smooth and well nourished feel.
I was intending to have a chill out shave, but half way through I got called out to work, hence I added the Floid Vigoroso....the scent certainly wakens the senses.
An overall DFS.
Have a great night folks.
