2 days' growth
Hot shower
Ma Provencal soap (almond)
Tony Miller 3" strop
Honeybee chamomile soap
Proraso boar brush
4/8 EAB Frameback
6/8 Puma 69 rp 1/2 hollow
6/8 Badaud 1/4 hollow (from Joe Chandler)
Lucky Tiger AS Toner
L'Occitane CADE AS balm
Honeybee gave me very mild lather but it wasn't as slick as the one I get from Tabac. I thought I had the 4/8 EAB ready (passing HHTs) but it tugged quite a bit on my cheeks. This would have been a disaster on the neck, so I switched to a heftier and I thought sharper Puma 69. Not quite there either... Feeling irritated, I resorted to my 1/4 hollow Badaud 6/8 barber's notch from Joe Chandler. Oh, the preasure of a sharp razor. Joe is my hero.
Shave was going down but the Badaud saved the day. Zero cuts, just a slight 2 by 2 red area under chin as I got a bit aggressive, 2 nicks (no blood) - not bad for me.
Cheers
