Razor: Merkur Heavy Classic 34С
Blade: Voskhod (1)

A/S: Fine Accoutrements - L'Orange Noir After Shave

Such a nice start for such a dull and rainy day.
Classy shave ! I have the L'Orange Noir aftershave but not the soap...its a top scent, not too much citrus!

Pre:
Shower, Proraso Green Pre/Post
Soap: Speik cream
Brush: Omega Boar
Blade: Rapira Super Stainless (3)
Razor: iKon X3
Post: Alum, Myrsol Formula "C", TSW After Balm

The Speik cream was a little dehydrated on Tuesday, but the shave was pleasant nonetheless.
A small amount of irritation, which I could attribute to the lather being sub par, and maybe pushing the blade slightly too far.
Completely user error on both parts as I was in a little bit of a rush...
I thought that using a cream might be quicker and easier, but I should have stuck with something I was more familiar with.
The rest of the crowd performed as expected.

A better shave this morning. I had the day off due to some upgrades on the work vehicle so I had a more leisurely morning.
The MWF lathered up wonderfully on the puck, but no matter how much water I introduced on the puck it seemed airy.
Started painting on the face and it was quite evident that the lather was way dehydrated.
Introduced water slowly, and ended up with a terrific lather. It did take a bit of time, but was well worth the effort!
Needless to say, my shave benefited enormously from having a quality lather.
The blade was good, will need a couple more shaves to give a better indication.
As usual, the finishers performed well.

I feel reborn! I shaved yesterday but I was in a rush and only did a WTG... where do you want me to go with a single WTG? : / This time I did a proper 3 pass shave, a silky smooth experience that I recommend to everyone able to pick up a razor.

See ya later ladds, I'm heading to the gym :cool:

Brush: Muhle Travel Synthetic
Soap/Cream: D R Harris Arlington
Aftershave: Left at home :(

How long, O Lord? Will I forget my aftershave forever?
How long must I shave my face with this?
How long must I must I use a cartridge 'system' again
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my envy be towards the others with their SOTD pics?


Psalm 13:1-2 (New Revised Shavers Version)

Travelling with just carry on, and forgot to pack aftershave in my kit. Only have a shave really and that not a true shave at all. Do you feel my pain and anguish?
