Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow (3)
Pre: Shower

Post: Old Spice A/S Splash // The Stray Whisker After Balm

Onto my next "croap'' and very similar to the Tabula Rasa but a sweeter scent profile. Enjoying the boar brushes as they paint on the lather nicely. The blade shaved smoothly but not as close as I like but for a daily shave it works fine.

Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

Its shaves like this that reinforce why I'm currently on Sabbatical as the gear used is top notch! The CG L2 is a great shave but in this pairing it stepped up the efficiency with the perfect amount of blade feel... :)
