Post:
Cold water face & head wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face & Head Rinse./Alum Rub. / Cold Water Face & Head Rinse. Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel. / Brut ASL + Splash-On Lotion/ Nivea Men Replenishing PSB./Milton Lloyd America Night EdT.

A new shave set up to start the Weekend..The last 2 month or so i have been revisiting various sub-continent DE blade.. Throughout the blade focus I have had some different results from them but never bad ones, all have been totally acceptable.

The Merkur 39c slant is such a solidly built smooth non-aggressive, yet efficient razor with a hefty weight and more aggressive than it's smaller handled sibling the 37c. Both razor's when ever I've added them in my razor rotation the shaving results have consistently good. Today was no exception.

If i had to choose which i prefer out of the 37c & 39c, then the 37c would be my choice, purely because I prefer the smaller handle on the 37c has grip which gives me better precision and control when shaving.

Both razors i consider non-aggressive feeling razors, yet very efficient at the same time. The scallops on the top cap make the razor feel extremely smooth which is great for my sensitive & problem areas.

As always, the dependable Supply V2 provided me with a effortlessly smooth head shave. SE razors are such smooth efficient shavers.

A close comfortable face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd America Night EdT to the chest & pulse points.

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

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

It took me some time to pull the trigger on this Black Watch set but I’m so happy I did it. It’s an awesome scent with a little sharpness from the bergamot and jasmine and well rounded in a plum, leather, incense accord. This new base is a little bit softer but I had no problem loading the Alpha brush from the tub. I had in no time really thick lather, no effort needed. Three passes with my stainless steel Blackbird paired with a Silver Blue blade leaving no whiskers behind. Finishing it off with the toner and feeling super smooth and smelling fabulous ✌🖤.

Razor: Tatara Masamune
Blade: Pol Silver Super Iridium, 1st use
Brush: Yaqi Purple Haze
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: Catie’s Bubbles A Midnight Dreary Puck
Balm: Baxter Of California Aftershave Balm
Fragrance: Tom Ford Black Orchid Solid cologne dupe.

A superb shave I’m really happy I revisited Catie’s Bubbles and this soap in particular, it may have been a newer puck or formula but the scent is stronger and the base is great. This little Yaqi piggie is finely softening nicely, it’s still a firm knot but the stretch is finally gone!
The Tatara Masamune is just a delight and I love the design, look and feel of this razor it’s a great daily driver.
