Have a great day!

  
This was a quick two-pass shave due to very tight time constraints - 1st pass with the Tedalus Essence; 2nd pass with the Alpha Spirit.  This was my first shave in a while with the Tedalus.  It never grows old!  IMO props are also due to the Alpha Spirit.  I'm lovin' it more with every shave.

Hello everyone,

On holiday this morning, I took the time to break down my shaving to be fully aware at every stage to better master the consistency of the lather, first of all quite thick and creamy - I even used 2 shaving brushes - one badger and one synthetic to see the differences.

I loaded the badger brush more than the synthetic one - the badger brush took longer time to lather but was provided a better result with smoothness...

But also to work on my cutting angle and to find my 'SWEET SPOT' with this little beast.

Result - a great learning exercise, slowing down again and again throughout the process - what a pleasure and what a discovery!

A Moon combo that I really like and an AS "Eau de cologne" - no joke - it was a general anaesthetic 



Tomorrow is another day ...

Have a nice day to you all
