Good Morning to All!

Semogue 2011 LE FBristle 1 (#88) | EJ BChrome w/ Red IP (UK) | Proraso Crema Pre E Dopo Barba | AOS Limon Shaving Soap | Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue After Shave

For some reason I been having this on waiting list to face lather AOS soap with my Semogue LE 2011 Fbristle 1 for a while. And today I did and it was just magnificent. The only thing about this brush although it has broken in, the release lather isn't quite there. I think that could be because the knot is so so dense and the loft being short. But in the end I was still happy with the lather that was produced. I hope you have all have a great day Gents!

Great shave. I'm really liking these Med Prep blades and the last blade that was in the fatboy lasted a full 5 days worth of shaves which is awesome. I love the Lily of the Valley scent but I think I'm still gonna switch it up as the week goes on. Have a great Monday Gents!

Monday morning:

M&F / Speick / Gillette / Speick / Penhaligon's

​

I very rarely use shaving cream (much preferring soap) but I normally have a tube of Speick on hand. During the current Brush Chronicle I am taking the opportunity to feed all sorts of soaps and creams to my M&F brush to check it's performance. I love the lavender scent of this cream and followed it up with a little Penhaligon's Sartorial.

I've experimented with Proraso Green tube, + Trumpers Coconut in a bowl, after loading up the brush with Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna shave soap. It was pretty darn good actually...I got the minty, refreshing from the Proraso, & the coconut of course, plus a little muskiness from the Sienna. I thought I rather liked it!

SPEICK

I started out with a soap sample that came with an order and then the Aftershave-the Deo stick, shave soap stick and bath bar followed. Great stuff.
Don't think I would use these all in the same go, though-would probably be too much of a good thing.
