[Ghostbuster]

Pre shave: Hot shower and Neutrogena glycerin soap bar
Razor: 1960 Gillette 195 Adjustable (7)
Blade: Feather (7)
Brush: Yaqi Sigrada Familia 24mm synthetic
Bowl: Captains choice copper
Soap: Stirling Margaritas in the arctic
Post shave: Nivea men sensitive cool post shave balm

A very nice fresh mentholated shave this afternoon with FatBeauty.
3 smooth passes with a hint of that signature Feather prickle on the third pass ATG, but no tugging, so the blade may or may not need to be banked next time.
We'll see.

Margaritas in the arctic was the perfect mix of citrus scent and a refreshing amount of menthol for this intermittently sunny day.

Finished off with Niveas cool balm.

Hope you all have great shaves and a great close to the week!

This little piggie has great potential but it’s not there yet. Still enjoyable nonetheless. Two passes for a DFS and I’m looking forward to the next one!

Wilkinson TTO razor
Zomchi superior platinum blade
Everready boar brush
Arko sensative shaving cream
Gillette aftershave gel
Just like Cool Water cologne

Hot shower prep with Old Spice Swagger body wash

The zomchi blade was sharp but harsh. Two passes were all my skin would take. Gillette to the rescue. I don't know how close to Cool Water this is but it is rich, complex, and at $4.99 a bottle worth the trip.
