Prep....Shower, Olive oil soap
Razor....Gem natural angle aka G bar
Blade....Pal super carbon
Soap....SV Tundra Artica
Brush....BSSW Gonzo
Post....Thayers Rose petal / Jojoba oil
Scent....Molecule 01 / Bond number 9 New York

Well this was a first for me, a Pal Super Carbon blade kindly given to me by @Norfolkdick. I was looking forward to using it in my Gem natural angle So after lathering up with the superb SV Tundra Artica I got down to it, within a couple of strokes I knew I was in for a smooth shave. Not only is this blade smooth it is also super sharp, I could have stopped at the second pass which would have left me with a DFS but with soap left in the bowl and my need for perfect smoothness made me carry on. On the third pass I was as smooth as can be and it was the smoothest shave I have ever had from this razor.....these blades are fantastic. I realise that I will get a couple fewer shaves from one of these blades than I do from the Personna a Gem stainless blades and I know they are three times the price but if I was a rich man I would not hesitate to buy these because they are nothing short of fantastic.
Thank you Dick, that was the most enjoyable shave I've had with this razor.
Finnished off with a splash of Thayers and once dryed I applied a few drops of Jojoba oil to my skin as a general moisturiser.
A spray of the wonderful Molecule 01 on my chest and a dab or three of Bond number 9 New York here and there.

Wishing you all a good day........:)

Greetings,


After the "Franken-Lather " cream/Soap combo experiment yesterday,i've carried on using the remainder of the Arko shave stick disk, mixing it together with a small amount of Erasmic cream,resulting in another excellent creamy slick protective lather,on equal par to yesterday's "Franken-Lather " creation.

It's been quite a while since i last shaved with my Wilkinson sword 'Classic' Razor, it paired up nicely with the Personna L.B.

A mild, but efficient 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report yet again.

Finishing my sunday shave off in style with a liberal splash of Blue Stratos.

Enjoy your sunday, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
