CRSW Bergamot & Bay today. 20 seconds to load the Ever-Ready 50R/TGN Premium Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Schick Plus Platinum still in the Gillette Black Beauty. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Bulgari Blu aftershave.

Post: Lucky Tiger Aftershave

Marvelous shave!
Third shave with the blade and best one so far. Interesting, the first two shaves were done on smaller blade gap and this shave was done on a more aggressive setting. Yet, my skin felt best after this shave. I guess on milder setting I was chasing for a better result and in the end irritated my face.
Soap performance great, as usual. Really happy with Lucky Tiger as I used it alone, without any balm. It is different than my regular alcohol-based aftershaves, and at first, it does not leave the skin gentle and smooth but couple of hours later it feels great, smooth but refreshed, not dry.
