Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade Lavender + Tea Tree Oil Witch Hazel Mixture./ Duru ~ Mandalina Cologne.

Lucky Tiger ~ Aftershave & Face Tonic.



Greetings,



Early morning shave.


The yaqi doc head /schmidt r10 handle is a wonderful frankenrazor, the appearance of the head makes it looks very aggressive but it's the complete opposite paired together with the right blade choice gives a socially acceptable shave.

The chinese cologne soap as always provided me with a wonderful protective slick lather for the shave, and excellent post shave feel..A superb chinese shaving soap, which i highly recommend, and a one that will always be in my shaving den.

A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous splash of Lucky Tiger ~ Aftershave & Face Tonic.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling zesty devine.;)

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.😎

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap,Antica Barbieria Colla Almond Oil Pre-Shave Cream
Brush: Rudy Vey Shavemac Three-band Silvertip Briar
Cream: Geo. F Trumper Spanish Leather (sample)
Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette 'Swede' (8)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel, Antica Barbieria Colla Almond Oil Balm
Scent: Geo. F Trumper Spanish Leather EdC

An effortless, smooth and close three pass shave with this line-up.

I knew I would love the scent of this cream, as the matching cologne is one of my all-time favourites. Think a really classy version of Imperial Leather. The cream is relatively firm - approaching a 'croap'. The scent strength is mid from the container, and remains mid-strength throughout the shave, and as I mentioned above, has a beautiful scent.
The cream is very easy to lather and reach correct shaving hydration levels. On the first pass, the thing that immediately struck me about this product was the cushioning - it was excellent. This allowed a faster than normal shave time for me, as I glided the razor around my face. Slickness during the shave was very good, and residual slickness respectable.
Just had to finsih off with the matching cologne ;).
