a pleasant a shave as you please

been about 3 or 4 weeks, have lost count lol. I had intended to wait a little longer , until my new silvertip arrived, but due to an unscheduled Dr's appointment I didn't have the luxury of waiting.

Hot Shower

wapienica 5/8
eveready pure badger brush
peaches and cream soap bought off ebay (smelled good enough to eat, but wouldn't advise it)
mug: oklahoma souvenier cup with a dreamcatcher on it
no aftershave conditioner or after shave, I could still smell the peaches and cream so I left it alone.

3 passes, wtg, xtg and atg, bbs shave.
no nicks, no cuts no bleeders

I am happy to report that my shaves are consistently better each time, but not so much so that I am over-confident. Respect the blade and it will respect you, disrespect the blade and it will bite you.

Proraso Preshave (menthol)
Proraso cream (green)

Proraso AS Balm

My face feels amazing
