Notes:

Still in! I had a wonderful shave to say the least. The head shave with the Ikon Tek was even better!

Lather was fantastic today. More on that subject in the Zenith Brush Chronicle thread.

Wishing you a wonderful shave today!

Last nights shave was
Pre -Shave: Hot Face Wash
Razor : Rescaled Gotta Superfine 120 7/8 straight razor
Brush: Boti Captain SHD Silvertip Badger
Soap: Mike’s Naturals Rose, Patchouli & Cedarwood

Post -Shave: Alum Block
Trumper Coral Skin Tonic
Trumper Coral Skin Food
C&S No.88 EDP

Lovely shave with my first 7/8 razor borrowed from a friend. Edge on the razor was superb. No fuss or drama just an efficient removal of whiskers.

Vintage straights are me for now. May still fail this GRUME as on the lookout for a finishing stone as I look to get into honing this year 😎😎😎

I'm continuing with the Proraso pre shave and I think, being a fair haired lad who couldn't grow a mustache until his mid twenties, that it is more for heavier beards. Theoretically I should be using the green, but not a fan of menthol and eucalyptus.
 
Day 19, 61.3% complete

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Lather: Palmolive Stick, made into a puck
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC1.05 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #9
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

Palmolive day again. I got a much more comfortable shave from the big gap Game Changer and well-worn Astra than the .68 and Boots blade. An easy near-BBS result.
