Greetings,

It's been a while since i last used the WS Premium TTO which Paired up with the GWS (Saloon Pack) wonderfully making a smooth efficient duo.

The Palmolive shave Stick is something i'll always have in my shaving den, purely because it never fails to provide me with such a slick protective lather in a short space of time with a superb fragrance.

Between the WS Classic & Premium TTO I actually prefer the Classic even though the Premium is more assertive the Classic I feel delivers a better shave experience.

Another enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine. 😉

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

The BWS blade was still working well in the Athena even though it had completed 7 shaves in 15 passes, it was still cutting towards the end of this shave, although, with a noticeable drop off in smoothness. It has now been retired.
I am still using too much soap to get lather for just 3 passes.
A nice post shave routine leaving me with a comfortable BBS finish.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
