Oleo/WCS Fougere
B&M Diamond AS

I believe Diamond was made as a homage to the smells of baseball and originally released as a Springtime scent, but the AS has a slight sweetness to that reminds me of the caramel corn tins that usually come out during the winter holiday season thus making this a great year round scent for me.

Prep: Warm shower and nivea cleansing gel
Pre Shave: Proraso the white one (lots of it)
Razor: Lord L6
Blade: Wilkinson Sword
Brush: Omega pro 49 boar
Soap: Nivea sensitive shaving creme
Aftershave: Proraso lotion green + nivea sensitive balm + nivea moisturizing creme for men
Rating : 7,5 /10

Overall an ok shave with a couple moments (I made a tiny pimple bleed and caused a tiny cut on my lower lip). Wilkinson blade works great in the lord l6 (its fifth shave!), which I am liking more each day. You can feel it working and cutting even the tiniest of hairs. I had a smooth shave. I used the Nivea sensitive cream for the first time. I used alot. It produced tons of lather and the omega 49 covered my face nicely. I would totally recommend the Nivea. Its scent is kinda weak but pleasant. I also used alot pre shave creme. It definitely played its role in providing a smooth shave.

SOTD WEDNESDAY , OCTOBER 21, 2020

Great shave this morning with two of my guaranteed great shaving blade holders. The Feather DX Barber’s razor coupled with my FrankenFamex [Famex head on ATT Atlas handle] combined to deliver the level of closeness I desire, albeit with a new shave soap, PAA CK6 Scentless heavily dosed with peppermint oil. The lather was slick, but I’m still not sure about post shave skin feel. What I do know is I feel smooth, clean and velveteen. Enjoy your day!

RAZOR: Feather DX (Mug) FrankenFamex [Famex head, ATT Atlas handle] (Dome)
BLADE: Feather AC Proguard (Mug), Feather DE (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Monster Tuxedo Synth
SOAP: PAA CK6 Scentless dosed w/ Peppermint Oil
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin Soap followed by Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Jeris Osage Rub.
