Proraso Green is definitely a great refreshing splash! I have a bottle stashed at my parents house for shaving when I visit and look forward to it each time. It’s a simple pleasure.

Nah... You need the real true refreshing little bottle of Pino

That was an old Australian TV commercial roughly back in the 80’s

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Semogue Owners Club Boar
Cream: Lea Menthol
Razor: Wolfman WR2
Blade: Super Iridium BN-84 (6)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Proraso Green Aftershave Splash
Scent: Mancera Cedrat Boise EdP

Sticking with the Spanish cream theme; this time my first use of Lea Menthol. Very easy to lather; produces lots of lather from a small to average amount of cream, and a very good performer. The scent reminds me of Kapo Fresh from Bulgaria, which is a good thing, as this is one of my favourite creams. The menthol strength of the Lea cream is slightly more vigorous than Kapo Fresh, and right in my sweet spot. Three passes for a BBS result.

Ewww, no, you can keep that, too much bling for me.

You never know. I have a 34G and a 37G for those rare occasions when I rap shave.

Pre-shave: Warm Water
Brush: Forgotten Art - Bushman 26mm tuxedo
Soap/Cream: Stirling - Lemon Chill
Razor: Muhle - Rocca R94
Blade: Gillette Stainless (23)
Post-shave: Thayers Astringent Witch Hazel - Lemon / Stirling- Lemon Chill AS Balm

3 pass WTG XTG ATG = BBS. Wanted to see if the blade could deliver a BBS after 23 shaves. No problem, no weepers, no irritation. Damn this blade won't die.

The soap, Stirling - Lemon Chill. Scent strength medium from the puck and medium on the menthol effect. Scent notes, Lemon and menthol. A really nice basic scent profile lemon and menthol. I enjoy the way Stirling implements the menthol content and effect in their soaps. Best described as enough menthol to let you know its cooling effect is well and truly working, not enough to make your eyes water. Very simple and effective summer scent with an enjoyable lather to accompany it. Thumbs up .

I would never consider parting with my 34C. With a new feather blade - this is the most reliable and flawless BBS I can achieve (with zero risk of bloodshed). A perfect piece of engineering for mine.
