Tepid shower prep with Axe 3 in 1 wash.

It's bare feet and straw hat weather. We got a break in the heat with a shower of rain. It's a brisk 74°F down from 92°. The lime soap definitely adds to the tropical feel. I suspect it might be the brush but Col Conk was putting out the lather.

First pass was interrupted by a bit of tugging and less than satisfactory beard removal. I swapped blades and fixed the issue. I was working on two days growth and it was not being cooperative. I relathered and second pass went well. I had some issues around my chin I resolved with the Harry's cartridge razor. The Col Conk aftershave settled a little irritation. The Axe Apollo body spray was to help out the lime which is a one note wonder.

11/07/24
Pre - Dove Original Cream Bar
Brush - Erasmic AP Shave Co Silksmoke 24mm
Soap - OSP Sandalwood
Razor - Tatara Masamune / Ikon Bulldog
Blade - Personna Med Prep
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Barts Balm Ben Lomond & Original Cinnamon & Patchouli lotion
A/S - OSP Sandalwood

I have had some really enjoyable shaves this week, today was no exception.
2 passes and a little touch up on the whirlpools have me glass smooth and comfortable. The IKON/Masamune really hits the spot for me, i guess i just enjoy shorter handles.
This Silksmoke re-knot really picks up the soap as it has a good backbone, i myself run with a nigh on dry synth, dip half way and give it a good shake out, soap pick up then tip dip during the face lather building a really creamy lather.
The Dove pre-shave bar is down to a sliver and i will have to decide what to use next.
Enjoy your day all.
