Pretty much the same as yesterdays shave with only the brush changing. Same result as well. Flawless BBS, great scents from both the soap and A/S and excellent post shave feel.

I just love the roots soap! The scent is absolutely intoxicating but I've suspected my allergies getting triggered by it so it'll join the list of some of my highly prized unobtanium soaps having to be sold off.

I think the poor air quality in India has caused me to become sensitive to soaps i wasn't sensitive to before and it's a big shame as they are some of my favorites :(

Razor: Muhle R41 with Stray Whisker handle
Blade: Polsilver (1)
Soap: Henri et Victoria La Poire Francaise (from Travelling Box)
Brush: TF Amber and Ash Synthetic
Post: Alum + Myrsol Balsamic Water AS + Aramis Havana EdT

Thoughts...
- My first relaxed shave after a very heavy week of production work via my real job. The final show is tonight. I needed an aggressive razor again and I needed a slow relaxed shave to perk myself up. Loved it.
- The La Poire Francaise is lovely. Good cushion, glide and sound slickness. I got a few weepers but I'm also very run down so have some pimples which are where it happened. I really like this complicated sweet scent - a cakey pear dessert is how it's described and I wouldn't disagree.
- The Polsilvers have been tested in mild and aggressive razors now and I must say they are really good but I still prefer the Perma-Sharp SS. Could be that I'm just more used to them as the Polsilver has given me a BBS. But I don't think I'm joining the Polsilver parade here :)
- A Myrsol with a scent! I like its herby brightness and I feel like it's been really good for my face which is a bit of a warzone. I hope it hangs around.
