[Umina_Shaver]

SOTD - Tuesday 8 September 2025

Razor: Kampfe A-68
Blade: Cloud Bruce Lee (first use)
Brush: Russell's Shave Club synthetic
Bowl: Collapsible Silicon
Cream: TOBS Royal Forest
Splash: Reuzel Wood & Spice
Balm: Jaxon Lane Relax & Repair moisturiser

A bucket-list travel shave as I'm in Melbourne for the historic NFL Game at the MCG - Go 49ers!!!!!
A warm shower as pre-prep before whipping up an excellent cream from the TOBS Royal Forest sample sachet - a really pleasant, woody and slighty fruity scent. The ultra-lightweight Kampfe Henson clone razor is perfect as a travel tool and the first use Bruce Lee blade (remember he was actually born in San Francisco!) did a great job. Standard two-passes resulted in DFS. The Reuzel Wood & Spice splash paired excellently with the RF cream, and the Jaxon Lane moisturiser finished the job. All in all, a very nice way to kick off the day. Enjoy your shaves everyone...
