Razor: Timeless Bronze OC
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridiums (8)
Soap: Fac Fat Jaffa

Post: The Stray Whisker After Balm
WTG, XTG, ATG = BBS

Nursing 3 days growth but it was no trouble for the OC plate as I was rewarded with a smooth and efficient BBS!
The blade is showing no signs of dullness and the soap performed great with a pleasant scent if you like Jaffa cakes/lollies.
Happy shaves!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

Great shave this morning! Really liking Barrister and Mann's "Leviathan"! Wasn't expecting it to be as coffee-forward as it was scent-wise. Kinda put me off a little at first. I love coffee and I love the smell of coffee, but I don't wanna be walking around all day smelling like a "cuppa"... Luckily the coffee note doesn't stay long and the cedar, musk and leather come through. Liked the balm as well. Moisturizing, absorbs quickly and doesn't feel heavy or greasy afterward. Two-passes and a touch up with the Game Changer / Wizamet combo and I was ready to go. Finished with a spritz of Paul Sebastian.

Hope you have a great day!
