I've had a bit of hay fever over the last couple of days and I didn't really want to shave while I was sneezing my head off so today's eventual shave left three days of growth to get through.
Which was no trouble for the 195 as it blasted through for 3 smooth as butter issue free passes.

I decided to mentholate the lather today which was very pleasant in the persistent heat.
There's something about a warm scent like this soap has with an opposing cooling sensation thats really enjoyable.

Finished off with a matching splash, providing a great spicy amber finish.

Hope you're all having a great week and great shaves so far.

30 April 2026
Overall Rating: ★★★★★ (Epic Shave!)
Smoothness: ★★★★★ (BBS Perfection)
Irritation: ★☆☆☆☆ (Zero Burn)

Time of Day: Morning ☀
Blade Uses: 1
Passes: 2

Razor: Charcoal Goods Stinger lvl 2
Blade: Gillette King C
Brush: Goodfellas Smile Wild Hog
Pre-Shave: Mr Myrsol Emulsion
Aftershave: Folk Soap Bay rum

Notes: A cracking shave with the Vintage Palmolive stick, the fact that it is now in my 3D printed case makes it a dream to use with no messing about with damp foil.
The Stinger performed fantastic as usual, in fact the shave was so good, I am going to use the same gear tomorrow.
Enjoy the night everyone.
Ps
Here's a better pic of the new shaving stick container.
