Cold wet flannel to my face.


Pears ~ Transparent Soap Bar / Nuage Menthol Shaving Oil.



Brush: Omega S10018.


Bowl Lather.


Tesco's Ceramic 'Cosmo' Side Bowl.


Uber/Superlather: KMF ~ Peaceful Patchouli Shave Cream / Dettol Original Anti Bacterial Soap +Wilkinson Sword Soap bowl.


Blade: Gillette ~ 'NOS 94' Super Silver Platinum. (2)

Post:

Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade lavender eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Witch Hazel Mixture./ Yelken ~ Lemon Eau DE Cologne.


Wilko ~ Lemon & Black Pepper Body Butter.


A relaxing Sunday morning cold water shave.


My vintage Gillette Tech is such a smooth razor, paired together with the 'NOS 94' super silver platinum blade resulted in a very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Wilko ~ Lemon & Black Pepper Body Butter.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy you Sunday ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

 
Sunday Leisure SOTD!!

Pre Shave
- Forest Essentials Sandalwood & Orange Peel pre shave oil
Brush - Pearl faux badger ivory finish shaving brush
Shaving cream - Forest Essentials Sandalwood & Orange Peel Shaving cream
Shaving/Lathering Bowl - Pink Woolf ceramic bowl (yep did bowl lathering today)
Razor - Parker Variant set at 2.5
Blade - Astra Superior Platinum (new blade today)
After Shave - Alum block followed by Pink Woolf Oudh & Sandalwood after shave lotion

Had a 10/10 shave today with no nicks and cuts. Astra SP always performs well with Parker Variant. Additionally the mesmerising aroma of Sandalwood and a calming Orange peel shaving cream generated voluminous and slick lather ensuring proper razor glide for a 2 pass shave (WTG & XTG). Mere two passes enabled me to get a BBS shave today. Astra blades are so good on my skin that the alum hardly gave any feedback upon application. The ritual ended with a generous application of Oudh and Sandalwood fragranced after shave lotion that cooled the shaved skin down (thanks to menthol).

Next shave on Tuesday morning which needs to be extra cautious as will be shaving consecutive on Tuesday and Wednesday!!
Thanks!!
