Greetings,
A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...Continuing with Chinese clone August using the Ming Shi 2000s.
I've mentioned before in my past postings out of all my adjustable razors the Ming shi 2000 is by far the most assertive it had a very Love/Hate reputation within the wet shaving community when it first came on the market.
I was passed on mine from a friend I also have a spare one too, both of them have good blade alignment it is however a very assertive razor, even on it's lowest setting it's still a very efficient razor you must have instant shaving confidence and be it's master when shaving. It also doesn't allow bad technique, or lack of concentration and most importantly the lightest of touch and much respect is vital if not, It'll bite you for sure.
I find the Rapira Swedish Supersteel blade a great match for the Ming Shi 2000s feeling smooth & efficient.
The Ming Shi 2000s razor alone, like most of my more assertive razor's has improved my shaving confidence and technique multitude.
I never thought in a million years I would use such an efficient razor especially for a head shave...practicing my technique has gave me the shaving confidence to do so.
Another enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.
My face & precious swede are feeling smooth cool and smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
