Hmmm, just got my boarding pass for QF7 and it has the dreaded ‘SSSS’ on it :(

A friend going to the same conference left Melbourne yesterday and got a free upgrade to Business - and she travels a lot less than I do - no such luck for me :(

Pre-shave: Shower, Glycerine
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Tuxedo
Soap/Cream: P&B Imperial Rum
Razor: Rockwell 6C, Ikon Bamboo Handle (3)
Blade: Perma Sharp Super (2)
Post-shave: Cold water splash, TSW After Balm

The soap performed well and I initially liked the scent it didn't take long for the clover scent to overpower it.

Pre: Coconut Oil
Soap: Calendula MkIII
Brush: 26mm TF KBBB
Razor: Bengall
AS: General Ledger
