Brush: Omega 11047 Mixed Midget 22/48
Cream: La Toja Classic
Razor: Yuma YM-403
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (2)
ASL: La Toja Classic

A very fine shave. :biggrin:

The new team member (La Toja ASL) fitted in well. The splash and immediate scent were great. Two hours later I'm not quite so sure about the scent. It's certainly not offensive and the face feel is very nice, so I'll stick with it for a few shaves at least to see how I get on with it.


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:

Cream MacaRoot & Aloe
Brush Yaqi 24mm Aqua Tuxedo
Razor RR G37 Slant
Blade Czech Astra Superior Stainless 3rd
Post & Aftershaves Alum + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + MacaRoot Aloe Gel
Excellent creamy and slick lather with a pleasant light scent.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was good. Had a smooth and comfortable 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs finish. Aftershaves were awesome!
