I had a very enjoyable save this morning with the Gem Damaskeen OC, Wickham Irish fern and the RozoRock Bruce.

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
The Brush B-3 by Tom
Unmentionable Red and Black by Tom
Unmentionable SP
CWR
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with The Brush B-3 by Tom Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Red and Black OT by Tom with an Astra SP gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Well today ended up being a busy one. So busy I didn't get a shave in which is rare for me on a Monday.

Feel free to do a virtual shave anytime this happens again.  Big Grin Big Grin
