Shout out to Frank at ‪@strikegoldshave‬

Let's open the books on this shave:
Pre-shave - Hot Shower
Brush - ‪@OMEGA‬ Crystal travel
Razor - ‪@merkurshave1274‬ Progress
Razor - Dome ‪@headblade‬ Greeneblade Moto
Soap/Splash - ‪@elysiansoapshop‬ Shaved Ice
Cologne - ‪@royalllyme1051‬ Royall Lyme
From Elysian's website - Scent: A delightfully cooling blend of Corn Mint, Peppermint, and Narrow Leaf Eucalyptus essential oils, with sweet Heliotrope, and a touch of candied Lemongrass. Reminiscent of a sweet and refreshing summertime treat, this scent will keep you feeling fresh and invigorated.
My Thoughts - Shannon has a really refreshing scent in this combo. I get more of a lemon then lemongrass (that's just me) combining with the mints and eucalyptus, giving almost a menthol feel (maybe a addition for the next batch, eh Shannon? ). The soap lathered up quickly and had a excellent feel, going on and coming off.
The Merkur Progress is a good razor. I think it's more on the aggressive side for an adjustable. I had it set at 4, but think in terms of a Gillette adjustable , and it feels like a 6.
This was a good shave 1 stop and a cleanup on the Shave Train and it was straight into BBSTown !!!
The ‪@headblade‬ continues to not disappoint. 2 passes and a touch up and I was smoooth.
My advice: This is a killer setup. If Shannon rereleases Shaved Ice, it will be better . Everything performed better than expected. All products highly recommended !!
And easy head shaves , grab a ‪@headblade‬
See you on Wednesday for Italian Shave Day!
Be Good To yourselves and each other !
"If shaving isn't one of the most invigorating parts of you day, then your doing it wrong"
Have a great weekend and smooth shaves.
