Superb Clog-pruf shave
I continue to be impressed with this vintage SE razor. It is so much smoother than its open comb cousin, but maintains the same efficiency and "buttering toast" sound as it reduces my stubble. Defiance gave up thick slick lather to my Bronze Shadow, providing ample protection for a drama free experience. The scent is a peppery orange sandalwood, which is extended by the matching aftershave, leaving my skin feeling and smelling great.
Prep: Myrsol Emulsion
Soap: Dr. Jon's Defiance
Brush: Brothers Bristles Bronze Shadow
Razor: Gem MicroMatic Clog-pruf

Getting Ready to Go Back Home

I am about to get ready to go back home and before leaving it is always good to shave. I have been very happy about this shave, not only because of the stellar Mastro Livi razor I brought with me, but also for the awesome aftershave I used today, one of my favorite ones. Floïd Blue is certainly an excellent aftershave and it is so bad they quit production. Nevertheless I see so many wet shave lovers complaining about Floïd Blue not being in production anymore and I wonder whether Colomer - the producer of Floïd range - will ever read this and change their mind. This would certainly make a lot of people very happy.
