Eclectic mix of old & new this morning for a very enjoyable shave. Fresh Chick blade in my adjustable paired with another RE sample and using a little boar brush that came in a batch of brushes I’m planning to rehabilitate. Two passes plus touchups for a DFS+ finish. Happy Tuesday everyone.

Tuesday morning:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Super Platinum day 5
Erasmic Supreme Shaving Stick
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Viktor&Rolf Spice Bomb EdT

This Erasmic Supreme stick was discontinued a long time ago and I was lucky to receive one in a trade that I made with a fellow in the UK. It’s glycerine based with a very nice old school barbershop scent, it lathers like crazy, it’s so damned slick, and it’s pretty good skincare wise. The Lubriderm moisturizer felt so soothing, and do I ever LOVE the Spice Bomb fragrance from Viktor&Rolf. (so does my wife - her kid sister gave it to me as a gift!) Three passes left me so BBS - what a fantastic shave this was and I enjoyed it a LOT!

Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe!
