A merry Christmas shave
Prep - shower, Imperial Leather face wash
Bowl - glass
Cream - GF Trumper Essence of Limes (absolutely wonderful!)
Brush - DS Cosmetics T4 26mm synthetic

What a great shave, Trumpers shaving cream is amazing, 3 passes because I didn’t want to stop, the smell, shave feel and after shave skin feel was like nothing I have experienced so far in my shaving journey, happy, happy, happy!
And a very merry Christmas from me too!

You're welcome, and thank you Chris.
I've been haunted by the Black Dog of late. I think I've given him the slip for now.

Greetings,
(Boxing Day Face & Head shave)
A very in-expensive eclectic Boxing day shave set up where everything paired together wonderfully.
The WS shave stick is a wonderful shave stick it's surprising how much of a good lather you get from this humble shave stick.
It's a such a shame that they have now been discontinued.
Another enjoyable close comfortable combined face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Blue Stratos EdT to the pulse points.
My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy your Boxing day ladies & gentlemen.

C V Heljestrand of Sweden lather catcher was intended for use with a wedge blade, suitably honed and stropped of course. However, the ubiquitous GEM works a treat when a suitable piece of plastic is added. This bad boy is a solid piece of kit and on the heavy side due to the solid handle and thickness of metal in the head compared say to the Kampfe Star lather catchers which overall are much lighter in weight. Nevertheless, with care one main pass wtg followed by atg and pick ups gave the required trouble free bbs finish.
Have a relaxing Boxing Day fellas!
