  • Pre-shave: hot water + soap
  • Razor: Henson Mild (v1)
  • Brush: Goodfellas Smile "The Hog" boar brush
  • Soap: Proraso White
  • Blade: Lord Platinum blades
  • Aftershave: Nivea Men Sensitive AS Balm (No Alcohol)

Had an average shave, nothing special, no surprises. Tried to face lather, but didn't soak the brush long enough so it wasn't co-operating (didn't produce a good enough lather). Ended up bowl lathering instead. I must say the scent of the Proraso White is growing on me. As for the brush, I'm looking to upgrade it with a Yaqi Night Emerald synthetic brush (softer and no need to soak). The Goodfellas brush is about as cheap as brushes get, it came with my shaving set.

Music: Nouvelle Vague "I Could Be Happy" (album). Nouvelle Vague is a cover band, but I quite enjoy their versions.
