It was a very enjoyable shave with this razor & blade combination except for some micro red spots after. Mostly bbs finish.

Oops, I saw the week theme after shaving and taking a picture of my gear! 😅

Shower.
Pre : TOBS sandalwood pre-shave oil.
Soap : Figaro Monsieur.
Post : Alum stick and Figaro Monsieur 'ambra' aftershave.

Weapons of choice :
Razor : Merkur progress 500 (2-1-1)
Blade : Astra green (2)
Brush : Omega 11047 aka Mighty Midget.

This shave proved to me once more how paramount it is for a beginner, who hasn't got the technic and the soft touch of a seasoned hobbyist, to find the right blade.
I just swapped my usual Treet Carbon which gives me great shaves for a popular Astra green. I ended up with nicks under the jaw line and a red neck which this never happens with the Treet.
Conclusion : I need to keep stacking on the Treet Carbon. 🤭

Though Tallow Tabac is decidated to my Tuesdays I was in the mood today to give this excellent soap an additional spin. Frankly, you just can't go wrong with Tabac on any day 😉.

I had a very nice shave, the .84 Jaws was loaded with a fresh Gillette Light Blue (courtesy of @Space_Cadet , thx!).

2 passes and I was set for the day. Almost entire BBS - and the Jaws didn't bite.

Enjoy your Sunday, y'all!

Some nice looking shave gear for a Saturday shave. That brush looks awesome with the crown IMO.
