Greetings,

Another new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...Carrying on with my Parker razor focus using the Parker 24C which I haven't used for some time.

Open comb razors have a reputation of been aggressive, they can be, but any razor can if not treated with respect which can lead to a horrible wet shaving experience. I find open comb razors very smooth & efficient,and match up really well with de blades, the only thing which I find you have to do with the parker 24C as I do with all my parker razors is to apply a steeper shaving angle.

The Parker 24C like all of the Parker razors I own has a good heft to it, but is well balanced and feels good in my hand.

The Cella extra extra Bio shaving cream provided a wonderful this vegan version is equally as good to it's tallow sibling and like the tallow version it's slick protective and doesn't dry out and leaves your skin feeling hydrated and smooth. The mild-light fresh & Citrusy ASL is very pleasing leaving a good post shave feel.

Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth cool and smelling divine. 😉

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen. 😎

Pre - Droyt's Classic Glycerose Soap
Brush - Simpson Duke 2 Best Badger - #1
Soap - Derby shave stick
Razor - Feather WS-D2
Blade - Kai DE Stainless
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Barts Balm Ben Kilbreck - Neroli, Rosemary & Jasmine
A/S - Copycat Just Neroli
Wk 29 (1).jpg

The WS-D2 and Kai combo work really well for me, giving the "mild" but efficient razor a little more umph!
The cheap Derby soap does not really get much of a showing in SOTD's, it produces a great lather albeit with a neroli scent which i know is not everyone's "Cuppa-tea". I actually quite like the scent, maybe a tiny bit lighter than the Arko soap.
3 very comfortable passes for a very enjoyable shave.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
