Sarah Bonnyman Pottery (New Brunswick) shaving scuttle
Pacific Pre-Shave Oil
Kent BK12 brush
Merkur 34g (gold plated slant bar)
Feather blade
TOBS Sandalwood Shaving Cream
TOBS Sandalwood After-Shave gel
---------------------------------
Filled sink with hot water, put scuttle, plastic tub of TOBS Sandalwood Shaving Cream and brush in sink.
Shower. While washing hair, used shampoo and conditioner on beard which I have found makes a huge difference. Softens beard quite a lot.
Nice lather from TOBS Sandalwood - filled brush from plastic tub and whipped it in top of scuttle.
Very light first pass. It has taken me 7 months to figure out light really means light! First pass gets 80-85% of beard off.
Wash face with hot water, whip lather some more and reapply.
Equally light second pass, mostly across the grain and some extra attention to my weird places (lower side of mouth).
Wash brush thoroughly (last time in cold water), shake and squeeze dry, hang upside down.
Wash face, last time in cold water, apply TOBS Sandalwood after-shave gel.
BBS, relaxed and ready to face the day!
This combination has worked so well for me that I am reluctant to change any ingedient!
Happy shaving to all my colleagues on here.
