Straight Razor Shave Two
Today I did two WTG passes on both my cheeks with no drama. Emboldened, I tried a pass on my neck and it worked great - the skin is easier to stretch on my neck, and the 4/8 Torrey razor went smoothly and easily. I think I'm hooked. I have a long way to go.
I finished up with my Futur for a very close and comfortable shave. This was my first use of Route 66 soap - Cavendish, and I really like it. The scent is a familiar tobacco with some woodsy notes. I'm going to get the matching balm at some point. Today I used my Ahava balm, which is very soothing and has a welcome light cooling effect.
Prep: Kiehl's Calendula Face Wash
Soap: Route 66 Cavendish
Brush: HIS Lather Monster
Razor: 4/8 Torrey, Futur

No paparazzi present, but it was still a red carpet affair.

Barrister's Reserve Classic splash sample

Pure2O is another great offering from Marco @ PannaCrema. I still had a little Barrister's Reserve left & I think its scent complemented the soap well. Both of these will be in my collection once they are available. Now, where's that red carpet‽

Excellent set up this morning, these two scents worked together nicely. After a late night working it was definitely a good start to the day.
