Sunday night
Hot water prep
Palmera SE razor (early 1900's) - L'Occitane CADE sc - custom silvertip badger - cold water splash - Thayer's rose petal witch hazel resplash - Proraso asb - hot towel - Azemour EdT sample from Parfum d'Empire
After a great relaxing holiday in the hills of Tuscany it's back to work and also to the fora. This came in over the holidays and I simply had to try it. Cleaned the razor and it's hollow ground blade, honed it and shaved. Still a bit scritchy-scratchy, but BBS after two passes, so nearly there.
The Azemour is a very citrussy scent. Not really for me. I ordered the whole collection as samples, just to see if there's anything enticing. The panorama is from the Val d'Orcia, one of the most beautiful valleys in Tuscany.
I haven't been this relaxed after a shave in a while! :)
- Warm Shower
- Anthony's Pre-Shave Oil
- Vulfix Badger Brush
- Williams Mug Soap
- Dorken (Made In USA) 5/8"
- Real Shaving Co. - Anti-Wrinkle Post Shave Cream
Nothing fancy just a fine shave.
Pre-Shave - Clean & Clear face wash
Brush - Vie-Long horsehair
Soap - Palmolive
Mug - James Kent scuttle
Razor - 11/16 W. Hawcroft & Sons wedge
This razor has a great feel in the hand, due to the thumb cutaway and fine and coarse jimping on the bottom and top of the tang respectively. There was a little bit of sting present, so I'm going to run it on the abrasive strops to polish it up for later shaves. I wish everyone a great week of smooth shaves :)
