Hi guys haven't posted for a while. Eastern europe shave. Lider shave cream, troy noy cologne, thayers pomegranate hyaluronic acid and rose witch hazel and a cremo horse brush. The razor was my schick n with a second use personna blade. The personna blades have performed much better than the chick blades for me. Nice shave. Face felt a little dry but I haven't moisturized it for a while and it has been cold.
Btw the troy noy is nice and cheap. It's neroli similar to orange blossom scents but slightly more bubble gum fruity albeit light.

A quick no-frills two-pass shave tonight, back to N-S for both passes, no touch-ups: mostly DFS, small area of CCS on my neck, SAS under my nose. A little more feedback from the alum. I'll try going back to true WTG on my neck for the first pass tomorrow night.

Brush Yaqi 24mm Arctic Sky Deep Blue
Razor GC.84 SB
Blade Tatra Platinum 2nd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Really good lather from the soap. Thickly creamy and slick. Love the scent! I thought it's just leather but now definitely can smell the smokiness of tobacco...because my wife says so...😄
Shave with razor paired with the blade was very good! Really smooth and comfortable especially during the atg pass on the chin and lips area. 3passes for a very close result without any issues. Rating today 10/10!
