Nope. Thought about it very briefly and it was a tad on the cold side.

Forgive me father, for I have not been posting so much lately...

First run with the Squadron GCB soap and splash since Melbourne has turned on the weather for the first day of ‘no’ daylight savings. It’s a top performer and purchased purely off the back of the travelling samples box last year. Is that still a thing or has the current Covid-19 pandemic put that to rest?

Hope all you fellas are keeping well and staying safe in these times...

that looks like an amazing shave. The sebum green looks interesting.

It is a very good soap. The scent is very herbal and natural.

Very much inspired looking at the last few SOTD posts. Almost inspired enough to have a shave. Almost.

Pre: warm water + Proraso pre shave cream
Razor: WR2 1.25 & Timeless .95
Blade: Polsilver
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Tuxedo
Soap: Proraso Azur Lime Cream
Post: Proraso Green Splash

So today was the day of change with my first time shaving without a shower, rubbed the face with a bit of warm water to soak the whiskers and applied the proraso pre shave cream leaving it soak onto the face before shaving.

Started with the WR2, a two pass shave WTG & XTG, and ended with an ATG pass with the Timeless. Tell you what…. Neither disappointed and enjoyed both!!!
