Pre-shave; Warm shower, face rinse with MWF bar soap.
Brush; Culmak No 84 Best Badger 1’’ knot, Butterscotch handle.
Soap; Stirling Soaps, ‘’Frankinscent‘’ 5 used pucks mixed together, (apparently taking up too much space x SHMBO) in an original Franklin Toiletry Co 1976 Barbershop Mug.
Razor; Gillette, ‘’The New’’ 1934 59gm OC 2 piece Silver plated razor, from Set No 88.
Blade; Gillette, Nacet.
Post-shave; My Concoction; Wahl Traditional Bay Rum 500mls, Witch Hazel 500mls, Moroccan Argan Oil 100mls, Bay Laurel Essential Oil 25mls, Vit E 5mls, Natural Plant Glycerine 2.5mls and 1.25mls of Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (Thoroughly mixed together) aftershave/moisturiser splash!! ‘’Superb’’
Cologne/EDP;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Shave; 2nd use of the Culmak No 84 Made in England brush, could come to enjoy this one? The shave was pleasant, 2 pass BBS with touch-ups from a fine old girl, I really enjoy using the Vintage Gillette’s. The New 2 piece (Set 77 & 88) one of my favourites, YMMV, but that’s your loss, : :) :)
