Pre- Neutrogena Men Face Wash & warm water
Razor- Merkur 34c
Blade- Dorco (2)
Brush- Surrey boar
Soap- Proraso Red
Bowl- Fine Accoutrements
AS- Proraso Red
Cologne- TOBS Sandalwood
The other day I had a great first shave trying the Dorco for the first time, pairing it with Geo F Trumper cream.
Today's shave with Proraso was mediocre, and I suspect it's due to the fact that I just don't like Proraso croaps. I love their creams.
So, for my 3rd shave with the Dorco, I'll either go back to the GFT cream or I'll try Proraso Green cream, and re-evaluate.
5th shave on this blade. Two in the hybrid, then two on the core. And now back in the hybrid. Flipping over at each shave, so the get a shave out of each side of the blade. Works for me.
