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.

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

Musical shave of the morning
"Home-made" scuttle, silver and porcelain,
Brush Vie-Long, horse (really soft),
Soap mentha piperita, Savonnerie des Volcans, a great soap.
Shave with the Pradier of my carved pair, it's even softer when it's raining outside.
And the OST of the Roi et L'Oiseau, really relaxing.
