Greetings,
A new set up to start the weekend, it been a while since i last used my Semogue 830 brush, superb performing brush, as are all of my semogues, it's also the maiden shave with the Treet~Dura Sharp blades, which paired up superbly with the Parker 22R,i find that my parker razors are pretty well matched with most of the DE blades i've paired them up with, apart from Derby extra's which gave me a nasty nick, but that could have been down to me mastering my technique, or a dud blade, since then though, i've never used derby Extra blades, however last week i read a good SOTD post on them, which has restored my faith in them slightly,since then i found a tuck of 5 in my shaving den which i thought i had discarded with the others i had binned after receiving the nasty nick early this year...
so i'll give them another try soon, but for now i'll stick with blades that have gave me a comfortable no-errors DFS.
i've been having some sublime shaves on the last few weeks using shave sticks, so i'm making this week a 'Shave stick week' starting off with the humble Palmolive classic shave stick, which provides a wonderful slick protective lather, and a fabulous old school fragrance at a amazingly reasonable price,each time i enter Asda, my feet are magnetised to the shaving section, of which i always end up with two shaving sticks in the shopping trolley.
I've actually got 8 spare ones now!,..I'm developing a secret Palmolive Shave stick fetish!...You can never have anough shaving provisions.. That's my excuse anyway.
A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report .
Finishing the shave off in old school style with a generous splash of Duru Turkish Lemon Cologne...Lovely stuff.
My face is feeling smooth, & smelling devine.
Enjoy the start of the weekend, and keep warm ladies & gentlemen.
