Good morning Monday

EJ Super
Proraso
My recently acquired G2 Razor - :oops: - Yes, I know, it's just that I have an upcomming flight with hand bagage only so I needed to try it out.
Super Drug el-cheapo blades. Heck, this will be used so infrequently there's no point buying more expensive blades.
Nivea Sensative Balm

Not a particularly enjoyable shave. The G2, in spite of having a long handle and being all metal, doesn't balance well and feels light in the hand. Pressure needed to get a clean shave. Ok for occasional travel but not much else.
Best Regards

Savile Row 3122
Proraso Red s/c
1912 GEM razor
Coated GEM SE
King B. Vetiver
Giv. Vetiver edt

A re-wearing of the Givenchy Vetiver because it seemed to die on my skin yesterday after about 3 hours. Hoping it was flukey, because it is a stellar scent, and I'd love to get some longevity from it.

A 1.5 pass "Golden Age" shave today. Very comfortable, very clean. A new stretching technique has also left me with my closest ever shave under the chin.
