Soap: Proraso Green + 3 Stirling Frost Drops
Razor: Blackland Blackbird

Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel, Proraso Green quadruple-mentholated Aftershave Lotion

42C on Christmas Day was just a warm up; it hit 44C today on Boxing Day :oops:.
Hence, menthol was high on the agenda. And what a superb shave - the vintage Schick blade was so sharp and smooth in the Blackbird - a gentle touch and I was DFS after 2 passes, and BBS after the third.

SOTD - Sunday Afternoon December 26, 2021

Debut Mike's Natural Shaving Soap

Razor:
1958 Gillette Ball End Tech - mild yet efficient, nothing beats a tech
Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword - India (1) - sharp & smooth winner
Brush: Frank Shaving 2-Band Manchurian Finest Badger Brush - good backbone & soft tips
Soap: Mike's Barber Shop - smells good, lathers easily, stable, moist, creamy lather, the hype is real
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman A/S - classic barber shop scent, great finish
Growth: 44 hours
Passes: WTG, XTG, ATG, cleanup
Rating: 9.7/10

Results: Debut shave with the OG Artisan. Mike's been making quality shaving soap since 2011. Relaxing Sunday afternoon debut shave with Mike's Natural Shaving Soap. Fresh and clean Barber Shop scent. Beef Tallow and Kokum Butter make a creamy lather with good cushion. Shea Butter and Lanolin give excellent post shave feel. Outstanding performer. New sharp blade, mild vintage razor and stellar performing soap delivers a BBS result. Great shave! When I first use a new soap, I shave with my reliable Gillette Tech. Nothing beats a Tech.
