Austere August Day 14:

CFG GTB
Dogclaration Seascape
'77 Gillette Super Adjustable
GSB (14)
CFG GTB Splash

Filarmonica DT 14
MS 30mm Silvertip
Meißner Tremonia Strong 'N Scottish
Lagerfeld AS

First use of Meißner shave paste, and is high quality stuff - scent is like T+S Morocco (1st version) - perhaps the cadewood - cedarwood nexus found in both. From the manufacturer: A masculine, strong and incredibly intense experience with plenty of genuine Scotch Whiskey, pure Sheep Wool fat and the peaty-smoky fragrance of burnt Oak. And would say that's accurate, although others have been less generous saying something about the scent of an old kilt . . . but having some ancestors from the Isle of Skye, a burnt-smoky fragrance wafting up the loch will not meet any resistance heading into the shave castle.

Yesterday I collected probably a third of Proraso products as I could get a good discount, so here we go:

Started of with a warm face wash - just warm water
Proraso eucalyptus & menthol pre-shave
Proraso boar brush
Proraso eucalyptus & menthol shaving cream
Ming Shi 2000s razor on 3, with HEMA* blades
Proraso blue aftershave balm

Due to all the menthol contained products I've never felt more awake (after a few bad nights sleep)!

WTG, XTG, ATG. Few touches needed. All products were first use, apart from razor. I think I keep this setup for a week or so. Loved it.

*) The HEMA is a Dutch warehouse, they ony sell their own brand. Rumour has it these blades come from the Israeli Personna factory if I remember well. Grand blades.
