Again 7 x 2 pass shave and out for this Personna Platinum, still smooth in the Blackland "Big fella".
A better judgement on the soap today, i easily had enough for the 2 passes and some touch up, i do like the sweet, lemon, sherbet like scent of this one. I am going to run the month using up these samples and the tub i have to dial it in and see if i need any of the others.
A nice post shave leaving me smooth, comfortable and smelling clean and fresh.
Spot on that.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

A touch of spring in this shave for a dark, rainy morning. Frank made this excellent custom software, whose scent brings me important childhood memories.

Razor: Shield Avenger
Blade: Kai Captain Mild Blue, 2nd use
Brush: Shedeleven Spalted Scottish Hawthorn AP Shave Co G5C 26mm Fan
Bowl: 3D Printed Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: Murphy & Mcneil Magh Tured Puck
Balm: L’Oréal All In 1 Moisturising Cream Balm
Fragrance: Maison Alhambra Woody Oud EdP

I was doubtful about this soap as it seemed very mild scented off the puck, thankfully it stepped up a level when lathered and while still not strong it was a good solid dupe and lovely base, another thick yogurty/creamy lather which worked a treat. The ocd in me likes matching my soaps and splashes in some form so this goes very well with my TF Oud Wood dupe from Maison Alhambra. Another keeper! So far I’m more than happy with everything I ordered from Pasteurs.

I literally went the whole Hog on tonight's shave.
Pre - hot shower with Signature soaps Dragons Blood
Brush - TGS omega Wild Hog
Soap - Signature Soaps Eboracum
Razor - Muhle Rocca R94
Blade - Gillette Minora (2)
Post - Thayer's WH cucumber followed by Cien Hyaluronic Acid Serum
AS - total decadence with the Dior Sauvage

Much nicer 2nd shave with the Minora tonight, but the jury's still out there, I still think I have sharper and smoother blades in my collection. But it did provide an excellent smooth shave for the most part. It just seems to struggle ATG under my chin and neck where some of my other blades don't. Took my time, enjoyed the solace and finished with a DFS.
Have a good Coronation Bank holiday all.

Though an oldie on the AC/SE scene, the SE1 still delivers a quality Shave. Toying with the idea of passing it on, but I do use it on every rotation.
