Microtouch TTO razor
Shark super chrome blade
Leponix synthetic brush
Arko shaving soap
English Leather Aftershave
Stetson spray cologne

Hit shower prep with Old Spice Swagger body wash

It's good to have blades again that can handle multiple shaves. I face lathered the Arko. It uses less soap and I have been getting a better lather. Two passes and all my trouble spots are clean and smooth. With a little skin stretching (mostly moving it off the jawbone) I seem to have gotten near bbs with a minimum of fuss. I did a generous splash of English Leather for the memories and a few sprays of Stetson for the high desert feeling.

Greetings,

Sunday morning shave.

Each time I add the Williams Mug Soap to my soap rotation I always get a reminder on how much of a slick lather this old school classic creates....I have mentioned before I totally understand why some people have love/hate opinions on certain shaving soaps it does take a while a little more time and effort to create a good lather but once you get passed the airy/bubbly stage your rewarded with a wonderful slick protective lather...However, like most budget love/hate shaving soaps it doesn't get top marks for it's scent which to my nose is a 'clean scent 'with no 'bells or whistles' but makes up multitude for it's slickness protection and post shave feeling which is the main issue in any soap or shaving cream IMHO.

Another wonderful effortless 2 pass +pickups close comfortable shave from the Ming Shi 2000s Futur clone & Treet Platinum duo.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face is feeling smooth and smelling divine.😉

Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.😎

Sunday 24th May...

Another warm day here. It's nice to wake to sunshine and natural warmth finally.

#3 use of the Supermax Blue Diamond Platinum and it was still very sharp. I find although the Schick is a milder razor that when you get to the final pass, it delivers a very close finish overall. Deceptively close.

This Semogue 2000 boar is my least favourite boar but it worked fine today and I think I'll give it another go. It certainly needs and deserves breaking in properly at least. A super smooth finish indeed.

Enjoy the lovely weather if you have it.
