Greetings,
A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...
For my August shaving Focus I will be using the Arko & Derby shave sticks along with my humble boar brushes. For my face shaves will be revisiting the Indian made Parker 22R TTO & 24C open comb & razors paired together with the Russian made Voskhod Teflon Coated DE blades that I haven't added to my blade rotation for some time, and for my head/dome shaves I will carry on with the Wilkinson sword extreme 3 Pivoting Head Cartridge Razor.
It's been some time since I last added the Parker 24C open-comb to my razor rotation and forgot how smooth & efficient it is. Out of all my parker DE razor collection the 24C performs wonderfully by using a steeper shaving angle due to the curvature of the razor head which is the opposite to the rest of my other Parker DE razors it also take's a few shaves to adjust to I also find my TTO models to be more efficient than the three piece models, this is definitely the case with the 24C open comb.
The Voskhod Teflon Coated/Parker 24C duo provided me with an efficient close comfortable acceptable smooth face shave. The Voskhod TC is a good blade match for the Parker 24C.
A comfortable Turkish themed face & head shave with no errors to report to start the first weekend of August 2026 wonderfully.
Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Yelken Lemon Eau De Cologne.
My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
