Brush: Razorock Noir 400
Pre-shave : Shower, brush wash the face with hand bar soap + a dollop of aloe Ver gel on beard area.

It’s the Nivea Men creme, the balms are different.

It’s the Nivea Men creme, the balms are different.

The balms are different, The Nivea Men creame(balm) is more concentrated(thicker) IMO and the fragrance is very nice but fades fairly quickly if applying aftershave & are having concerns of it competing for sent's of your favorite aftershave . I still use the Nivea sensitive balm along with the Nivea Men other days. You do not need much, just a few dabs strategically on the face and rub in a little. Its a better product possibly if working outside in the winter months with good hydration for the skin. Nivea makes some great products for the skin and have been making them for some time.

Quick shave to get on the road and wanted to reach for an old favourite. This 1960 Gillette Fatboy is one of two, the other being a 1959 I own. Great razor from a good friend in Texas.

RazoRock Gold is all citrus, warm spice, leather and Amber. What a great scent...I know I say that a lot...”great scent” but I don’t have many that don’t smell pretty good.

Dialled up to 5 the Fatboy had no issues getting smoothly through the beard. Nice and smooth and out the door with a little Prada for good measure.
