I went much simpler today.  I had some irritation from yesterday’s debacle shave, so i stayedWTG and XTG only.  

Proraso Sandalwood cream;
Omega boar brush;
Fat Boy Razor set at 5 and 7;
Personna medprep, brand new; 
Nivea Sensitive cooling balm.  

An excellent and healing shave.  Not incredibly close, but i also realize that with my heavy growth, especially in the winter months when I’m a bit lighter complexion, the only person who notices a difference between a BBS and other acceptable shaves is me touching my face around 1pm.

SOTD 01/23/20

First of all, my apologies for the delayed posting. Every 6 months I have a medical procedure that knocks me out. I shaved early and quickly this morning, but needed to leave for the procedure and didn’t get the chance to post anything after snapping the photo! The shave was good; the LaResche 77 delivered the goods for a decent DFS all around, both face and noggin. Really like this Soap Commander’s Barbershop scent. But I’m exhausted, so will keep it brief. I left feeling clean, smooth and refreshed! Returned home feeling like I was hit by a Mack truck.

RAZOR: LaResche 77
BLADE: Feather
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with PAA’s Preshave Cube Soap 
BRUSH: Omega Pro48 Boar 
SOAP: Soap Commander Honor
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Ogallala Bay Rum/ Sandalwood AS Splash
