I have been having a lot of fun getting the knack of shaving with my Feather SS Kamisori but wanted to grab a DE for today! What a gem this one is too! Found by my bride at a thrift store in extra minty condition cased! Loaded up with a fresh Gillette Rubie Platinum.

Soap of the day First Line Shave Red which is a phenomenal cologne based scent and a dupe of Dior’s Fahrenheit. I love this soap and the matching AS. Spoken often about the company look them up!

Beautiful three pass BBS shave achieved! Topped it off with the matching AS and a healthy spritz of D&G The One. What a great shave! Enjoy your day and stay safe!

Don't know if quarantining will help me live longer,

Testing new soaps (5/8)

Prep: Shower
Soap: RazoRock - Irish Countryside
Blade: Astra SP (3rd shave)
Razor: Mühle R89
Brush: RazoRock 400 Plissoft
After shave: Nivea Men - Protect & Care

Soap verdict: like other RazoRock soaps, easy and thick lather, nice glide from the razor on the skin, nothing to complain about on this side. The soap smells like grass, when using you have the feeling of walking in the grass fields in the… Irish Countryside! Add a few frost drop in that and you'll have the feeling of walking in the grass fields… but butt naked! Definitively a smell perfect for spring and/or beginning of summer!
