Blade: Treet Black Beauty
Brush: ‘Il Cinghiale’ (Zenith EURO/RX)
Soap: Skullbuster: Kumbaya
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / L'Occitane Cade After Shave Balm

decided to throw caution to the wind with this shave, and try the TR-1 with a Black Beauty, and.... despite the fact that I've used blades that were far worse, and the shave was actually quite good, it's not one I'll be reaching for often..


Friday.
Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep

Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra
Brush: 'The Duke' (Duke 3 Best)
Soap: Shannon's "Lit"
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Chatillon Lux Santal Auster Post-Shave Salve

OK, I'll hold my hands up, and admit to the fact that I'd totally forgotten how good Shannon's regular base is... having been super impressed with their Rust Belt Reserve offering, which really is outstanding, I was keen to revisit "Lit", and colour me chuffed, what a fantastic lather.... and with the Gillette Bleue Extra getting better with every shave, I was rewarded with a totally sublime shave... HELL YEAH!!
