Clean ingredient list with crisp peppermint scent and moderate menthol hit.
Thanks to @Ozymandias for the suggestion.
The King Parrot that landed on me during the shave was a pleasant distraction.

Pre: Hot Shower
Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: Astra SP (1)
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia Tuxedo Knot
Soap: Phoenix & Beau Imperial Rum
Post: Stirling Bay Rum balm

First time ever to use an Astra SP and it seemed to go quite well in the Blackbird; perhaps a bit more buffing required than usual but a DFS result. Perhaps the only criticism
of the Bird is that the faux SR71 type coating doesn't slide on the face like a chrome or polished stainless razor does. Not a big deal though, more a personality quirk.
Love the P&B soap, slick and easy to lather.
 
Pre-shave:- Shower/Bloom Water/Proraso - Green Tea and Oatmeal Pre-Barba
Brush:- Semogue 1305 Premium Boar

Blade:- GSB (4)
Aftershave:-Fine - Classic American Blend

Took advice from another thread where it was recommended that pre-shave is wasted on face lathering. I don't actively use a pre-shave cream but the matching set is there so might as well.
Definitely a slicker shave using the pre shave cream and making the effort and taking time to bowl lather.
