Thread: Sun June 26th - Sat July 02nd

Another fine and sunny day in Oslo. I'll be enjoying honing some new arrivals outdoors on my terrace.

Pre-Shave: A good washing. No shower for me for the next 12 days.

Brush: Rooney's Finest, 25mm

Razor: Charlie Lewis Custom, 8/8", Spike point in Mammoth Ivory

Strop: SRD Premium IV, English Bridle

Soap/Cream:Acqua di Parma Colonia

Scuttle:Schwarzweisskeramik, Large White

Astringent: Thayer's Medicated SuperHazel

After shave Balm: Martin de Candre, Coprah Oil

EdT: Acqua di Parma Colonia

Results: This was a good and comfortable shave, I tried to make every stroke count, being as effective as possible without rushing it. The extra focus on technique was an interesting test. I still like to challenge my technique every once in a while, and find that I always benefit from that in the long run. The Acqua di Parma cream is climbing on my list of top performers, a wonderful product with awesome performance and great scent.
