Aftershave: Pré de Provence No.63 balm

I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow. One that I'll have to wake up very early for. I'll have no time to shave in the morning so I did a rare nighttime shave to be prepared.

Because I'm shaving at night I wanted to be careful of what scent (aftershave) I use. Not everything I'd wear during the day works for bedtime. So I decided the beautiful warm, wood and spice scent of No.63 would be perfect. Spoiler... It was.

I dropped a second-use RK blade into the Cx-Atlas razor with 316L Mild base plate and was set.

With this kind of soap, I like to rub it against my stubble. Kind of like a cheese grater then face lather with a wet brush. So I did this and it worked quite well.

I did a three-pass shave and even though I used the "-" base plate, it still has a good bit of efficiency. By no means was I let down by this configuration. I still earned a bbs.

So there you go. Once done I rubbed in some No.63 balm and that was that.

Off to bed I go smelling great. I can't ask for anything more.

Take care and enjoy your shaves
