Razor: Merkur Classic 33c
Blade: Gillette 7 o'clock Sharp Edge Yellow (3)

Proraso Green Crema pre Barba

My Krampert's Finest Frostbite arrived yesterday, so I could not resist a menthol day. Result: BBS! The lather was great, as always, and the razor smoothly cut its swath. The Frostbite lived up to its name, giving me a few eye watering moments, with a comfy finish and a smooth face. I feel well cared for.

Soap: Stirling Scots Pine Sheep
Razor: ’66 Gillette Slim “6”
Blade: Personna Lab (1)
Brush: Omega 10066 Boar
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angle for my beard a bit)
1[SUP]st[/SUP] shave ever with the Personna Lab. I went with Stirling Scots Pine today. I was disappointed in my first try with a Lab. I got significant tugging, so much so that I tried another Lab…same. I hope it smooths out for shave #2 tomorrow. I sure wasn’t expecting this! I finished with Pinaud Clubman. I really like the “Old Guy, Real Man, Barbershop Scent”. I need to keep some around.
