Late afternoon shave, I arrived at home so overheated that I was about to jump on the pool, but....

pre: nothing
machine: Timeless scalloped 0.68 / UFO Goliath prototype
blade: Gillette Silver Blue
brush: Tony Forsith "The Ghost"
soap: AP Reserve Coolabah
1st after: lather on all the face ~3 minutes
2nd after: shower (no extra soaping)
3rd after: AP Reserve Coolabah

I use to shave this way on the past (first shave, then lather + shower, and ending up with splash), and the results are amazing. I actually enjoyed quite a lot the menthol (specially when I apply some splash on the upper chest after the shower), as I was still really overheated. I am tempted to bring with me the Coolabah to the fieldwork in 10 days, but stuff always get damaged at some point, so 'she' will wait for me at home.

Nice to be home but can’t say I had a bad shave whilst away.
Tassie sure has some ideallic coastline. Cliffs reaching hundreds of feet high, caves, blowholes etc dotted along the coast. Super nice place.
Other SOTD here

Of course delayed flight coming home so not much sleep last night. Still an excellent shave today regardless.

3 more days of work then off again Thursday night.

I confess to be getting a little weary as the year comes to an end, so I'm particularly grateful for great shaves. Thanks @Tony Forsyth and @todras for this great shave and @SchoolForAnts, @Kerry@Phoenix&Beau and all the other wonderful artisans making this daily ritual such an oasis of enjoyment. #grateful_for_the_simple_things

Very nice comfortable shave this morning. Went ATG on the neck for both passes. Normally begin Wtg there but got a good result. First pass the Rex was set to about 3 and second pass and touch ups was on a 1.25 roughly.

Thought my Stirling splash had severely dried my skin around my top lip but remembered I got a little tassie sunburn a few days ago. I have great results when applying Nivea ghengis balm to my sunburn too if anyone gets burnt from time to time. Nice and soothing.
