Probably my best shave so far!
Prep: Hot shower, Dominica bay rum splash
Soap: TGQ Leatherneck
Brush: Omega Pro Boar
Razor: 1963 Gillette Slim Adjustable
Blade: "Red" Persona
Splash: Ogallala bay rum, limes and peppercorn
ASB: Proraso
Result: Kept saying to myself what a rough shave it was (just one of those days) but when all was said and done it turned buttery smooth. Can't help but think it was the 1-2 combo of the Ogallala splash and the Proraso balm that saved the day :)
