Just an excellent shave again with B&M. Cologne Russe is one of my favorite scents.

Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
Pre shave - Proraso
Razor – iKon B1 Deluxe
Blade – Voskhod
Brush - New Forest Tubby 1 Finest
Soap – Barrister & Mann Arctique
Post - Witch Hazel, Jojoba oil.

Well, the Voskhod is proving to be a blade that isn't for me...That was a shave that I really didn't enjoy, even though the Arctique did a great job in providing the protection that I needed to get a BBS finish, as well as leaving me with a great post shave feeling..

I’ve given my face a few days rest; as of late, something has produced a lot of irritation on my sensitive-skinned visage.  Last night whilst sitting in bed reading, I remembered that the Haslinger Schafmilch soap that I ordered had arrived earlier in the week so, I jumped up, grated it with a cheese grater and pressed it into the bowl selected for it last week.  Whipping up the lather was a joy and I absolutely loved applying that creamy goodness with the brush.  The Gillette Fat Boy set at 9 for the initial pass, loaded with a Gillette 7 O’clock Super Stainless blade on its third shave, did glide through the lather taking with it the three days of growth.  After two passes and a little cleanup, I’m enjoying an irritation-free DFS and my face feels great and I am quite fond of the Haslinger soap.  The Chiseled Face Groomatorium’s Ghost Town Barber provided an excellent finishing touch, which was confirmed by the wife.

Soap: Haslinger Schafmilch

Aftershave: Chiseled Face Groomatorium’s Ghost Town Barber

I chose the I2 Hydromagic this morning, it's a wonderful razor. Indeed I just bought a second one to see me through possible zombie apocalypse. Perhaps it's just the handle but I prefer it to my G series. [Image: eb9c968abea0502a24fea30cd9048fda.jpg]
