Today I had a wonderful shave. It started by stropping the Dovo razor on the linen side of the Dublduck strop 15 time and then moving to the horsehide side for 20 times. The choice for shave cream today is Penhalagon’s Blenheim Bouquet, and English product, applied to the face with a super badger brush. How I love the fragrance of the Blenheim Bouqet, a superb citrus aroma. It seems to arouse the whiskers into a frenzy of desire to be whacked down by the edge on the Dovo razor. Once with the grain and a second time against the grain and I was left with a smooth face. The follow up was a generous splash of Floyd after shave lotion from Italy. You have to love the menthol chilling that Floyd produces. What a wonderful shave.
