Pre : Hot water, Kiehl's facial wash
Soap : Proraso green tub
Brush : Progress Vulfix 404
Razor : Merkur Futur
Blade : Feather
Post : Cold water, alum block, Nivea moisturiser

Finish : Ok.

Comments :
The Futur was set at '3'. This was ok during the shave, but the burn soon caught up with me. Also, my skin doesn't feel as good as it did with the MWF yesterday. I might just end up sticking with Proraso for their pre-post cream; the shaving soap isn't quite what I was expecting.

Hot shower prep
Razor: Schick Injector M-40
Soap: Rose of Bulgaria
Mug: Soup Cup
Brush: Semogue boar
Aftershock: none
Splash:HESS Rose Face Lotion

The Day? Beautiful and cold -10ºC. The Shave? Wonderful! The Rose cream is a wonder for making lather and the little Semogue whipped it to a fine texture. So fine in fact that I did three passes because it felt so good! And the splash did not sting!
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!
