Beautiful 2 pass DFS (WTG, ATG). No irritation or bleeding. I usually reserve the proraso balm for soothing rough shaves, but went with it today as it's the closest scent match I have for the Dispatch Rider soap.

I've had a few ask me to release an aftershave to pair with Dispatch Rider.... promise I'll do it next time ;-)

Delightful shave with the Rex today. Probably the best shave to date which was close and comfortable. Used a Gillette yellow (2) and what a lovely finish with the FBR splash! Wow I’ve been missing out by not having this one before now! I’ve seen plenty of posts where guys have talked up this one and it happened to “fall” into my package from @todras this week. Super happy with it!

I was planning on using one of my new APR soaps today but since I’ve had every shave with the Windsor for the last month, I’m seeing real progress and believe I will be done before Christmas. That’s the aim and then I’ll be into a glacial soap by Stirling for the course over summer. I’m in a rabbit hole of not straying from my chosen soap it appears...
