King C. Gillette razor
Treet new steel blade
Gillette Planet Kind cucumber mint shaving cream
Aqua Velva musk aftershave


The big difference between cartridge and canned cold slimy goop and brush and cream is that you get warm lather as opposed to cold slimy goop in the morning.

I'm trying to use up a few things so I have room for more stuff. The Aqua Velva aftershave and Planet Kind shaving cream are the closest to done.

The Treet blades do a good job but they don't last more than a couple of shaves. That's OK since the one thing I'm not short of is blades.

First pass did a good reduction. Second pass did the clean up. I don't feel disco ready but the Aqua Velva does have a definite '70s vibe.

Razor: Yintal V7
Blade: Astra SP, 3rd use
Brush: Yaqi Napoli
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: HC&C/Pasteur’s Pharmacy Empire State Of Mind Puck
Balm: Baxter Of California Aftershave Balm
Fragrance: Lattafa Asad EdC

It was the daughters seventh birthday so needed something robust to cope with the 14 under 7’s and two and a half hours at a trampoline park! The HC&C and Asad did an excellent job as did the newest razor in the den which gave an effortless smooth shave. Yes it could be a tad more efficient but it’s an easy autopilot daily razor and for the price very good value.
