I'm sure that I posted about this place when I was last in London. I would have had the Basil and Chili gelato. Yes it IS a thing and it WAS amazing - but did do you head in a little.

Pre-shave: Shower/Bloom Water
Brush: Semogue - Excelsior 1460 Boar Brush
Soap: Murphy & McNeil Green Man Fougere
Razor: RazoRock Lupo Aluminium
Blade: Feather 1-3
Aftershave: Murphy & McNeil Green Man Fougere
The M&M is the best non-alcoholic aftershave I have tried to date and because it is alcohol free can be imported from US
Lupo is a stellar performer with Feather and Polsilver blades and would be better in SS, although at twice the price of a GC I don't think it would perform any better.

Feeling a little rebellious/nonconformist. Well, I had to use the Leaf. So there. :D

Blade: Polsilver SI (3)
Pre: Shower
Bowl: Pereira Shavery Lathering Bowl
Soap: Cella
Post: APR Restoration Peptide Concentrate Serum 15ml Tester A

My last few SOTD with Cella soap as I decided to use a sample up from @Kaeckerut. The iKon shave started off harsh so flipped the plate and managed a SFS with blade feel. As for the Baby Smooth, it truly does shave super smooth that I had to use it twice. A fabulous daily shaver! Finished off with some Serum... Happy shaves!
 
OK, so Luxembourg City is a VERY pretty town -
