Lots of green things in the shave, thus the hue.

Pre: Hot towel, Razorock Mister Joe mentholated Lime pre-shave soap
Bowl: Captain's Choice large gunmetal
Brush: Elite 24mm Green handle
Razor: HTGAM Symmetry purple tip Open comb
Blade: Astra SS
Soap: Mike's Natural Lime
Post1: Hot towel, alum, Cold towel, Origins Firefighter
Post2: Crabtree & Evelyn West Indian Lime Balm

This shave kicked my *** a little. The razor bit me a couple of times, although the worst one was 100% my fault.
Not sure if the blade was not sitting correctly but I felt too much of the blade around my mouth/lips. Way too much. The rest of the face was smooth and really close.

Love the Origins FireFighter. Ended up not using the Pinaud.
The Crabtree & Evelyn Balm is a nice product, but compared to the Mike's Lime and my Truefitt & Hill West Indian Limes, it's too tame as to it's Lime scent.
