Soap: Tabac
Brush: Comoy Badger
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: C.O. Bigelow Mentha
Another stinking hot summer day here and I had an afternoon shave when I got home from work.
This Gillette is very easy to use, and gave me a great squeaky clean head shave in 2 passes.
The Mentha Balm was once again a fantastic way too cool down.

Tried something new (well, new to me anyway) I did my usual two pass shave then did touch up pass with hot water and about a nickel size blob of baby oil gel. Worked quite well moisturizing my skin and made the surface quite slick to touch up the usual trouble spots. I've never been to Eklstuna, Sweden but if it produces razors like this and the venerable C.V. Haljestrand, I can't imagine, it's not a great place.

Have a great day!

This BQ has thrice now given me a great shave. I also love this brush as a switch from the Thater. Thick, creamy lather all the time. Oddly enough, I seem to have a touch of razor burn on the cheek... which is odd as I never get razor burn. Maybe in the rush, it didn't apply the balm thoroughly. Bonus for the day - my barber hones arrived, by DMT 8C arrived, and my newest addition (Dovo Flowing 6/8) will be here today :)
Happy Hump Day all!

I really like the Col Conk shave soap. Lathers very easy and full protection.
