Been off on leave and so have not shaved for 3-4 days as I didn't have to and wanted to let my neck heal a bit. Was looking forward to this shave:

Pre: Face wash, warm water, Proraso white

Razor: Muhle R41
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Morado
Brush: Omega 20102 boar

Post: Thayers Witch Hazel Rose Petal, Nivea Sensitive, Ariana & Evans Tobacco Cashmere

A one pass shave only and the R41 has taken down a huge amount of the stubble from 3-4 days growth and I don't want to anger my neck with anything more. It could perhaps do with a little touch up but I am happy with this, a damn good shave. Definitely the R41 for when I've got a bit of growth. One little nick but that was my own fault as I slipped from not concentrating. The brush needs a bit more breaking in but I really like the backbone in it and this will be used regularly.

Have a good Saturday everyone.
