Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
Pre shave - Proraso
Razor – Weber ARC
Blade – Permasharp
Brush - 'Mama Chub' (Chubby 2 Two Band)
Soap – Wholly Kaw – Monaco Royale
Post - Cold water rinse, Chatillon Lux – Bon Vivant Post Shave Toner


Lovely shave! Wholly Kaw is another 5* soap, and Monaco Royale really hit the spot...what a joy.

 

[Doug57]

Nice dramatic stance of the razor as if in defense of the Proraso duo, Doug. Love those Proraso shaves. ad one myself today.

Thanks, Ron. It ended up getting to 86 degrees yesterday and, it turns out, our air conditioner is on the fritz. The Proraso was a perfect choice. I reapplied more in the afternoon. There is something almost magical, to me, about the sensation of putting Proraso green aftershave on a freshly shaved face.
