I have a weishi razor gives me a great shave. I also have two yintal branded ones weishi re-branded I think, they are fantastic.A heavy brass butterfly opening with a lovely smooth mild shave.
P.S. I'm selling one on the bst with matching base.I can't believe it's still there tbh, those who like a mild shave go check it out. (That was a plug)

Cold Water Shave
Pottersong Shaving Bowl
Turn-N-Shave Party Brush
Stirling Orange Chill
GEM G-Bar
GEM Personna PTFE (4)
Nivea Cooling Post Shave Balm

My daughter decided she was going to choose all the supplies for my shave this morning. She loves the look of the Party brush and the smell of the Stirling Orange Chill. She made the lather for me and also wanted to set up the SOTD picture. She's only 9 but I think she may become a wet shaver when the time comes...

The Orange Chill provided a great cushioned and slick lather. I enjoyed the cooling effect of the menthol, especially post shave. Great first experience with Stirling. The size of the Pottersong bowl and spiral bottom makes for an easy lathering of the soap.

Sun 23rd Dec
RazoRock Syn. 24mm
P & B Pall Mall
ATT SE-G
Gem S/S ( 2 )
Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion
I think this is the 6th Shave with the ATT Gem Razor,since the base plate was modified. It is still mild but now works.As I have a heavy growth it takes longer to acquire a good Shave, and today I had my best results. The Shave being very smooth and comfortable was pleasingly close all round.

Last shave with the Derby, it was quite smooth and cut through the whiskers well. But with Derbys, its “4 and out” like a good NFL defence. I've preloaded a Feather for tomorrow's treat.

A slight bit of irritation this evening with my face having a slight heat about it. Think I rushed things plus shaving 2 days in a row. That'll be me until Xmas now when I hope I'll have loads of new goodies to try [emoji1694]

A DFS all the same!

Have a great night and start to the weeks folks!
