Greetings,


A new shave set up to start the weekend.

Every since i've been using the disk method in my mixing bowl with my shave sticks i've been able to created some phenomenal lathers today was no exception,absolutely superb..It's been a long time since i've used a Astra SP blade, and have to say matched up with the m.s. 2000s, superbly yet again smooth sharp & efficient,cutting through my stubble effortlessly..Another razor that isn't fussy with the blades i've matched it up with.

A very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of nivea men ~ 2 phase a/s lotion.

My face is feeling cool, super smooth & irritation free.;)

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

[emoji829]Soap: Mike's Natural Soaps - Vetiver
[emoji829]Razor: 1959 E3 Fatboy
[emoji829]DE Blade: Sputnik (1)
[emoji829]Brush: Wildwestbrushworks - Ivory handle with 25mm Envy White
[emoji829]Postshave: Fine Fresh Vetiver

Yeilded the creamiest, densest lather using Mike's Vetiver, a sweet earthy scent, the Fatty set at 3 was able to smile and glide with ease, followed by Fine Fresh Vetiver, beautiful fresh scent that contrasts well with the soap. I find it has the same sillage as Fine American Blend.

Have a great weekend

Saturday morning

MWF
RazoRock Disrupter 22mm
Face lather
Gillette Slim Adjustable (7)
Astra SP
Alum
Thayer's Cucumber and Aloe Vera
Pitralon Classic after shave

A very satisfying shave with the Slim/Astra combo. As expected with the Fat, a great post shave feel.

Looking back, if I'd shaved daily with foam/gel and cartridges my face would be like a well- skelped arse. But, shaving ‘properly', has led to daily shaves (where required) with no irritation at all; and very smooth results.
