I haven't been using pre shave products much recently, only washing and face lathering
Pre Shave Oil did make a difference to my shave tonight. It was almost as if it numbed my skin. I could hardly feel the blade
Russian Leather soap is always a pleasure to use. It provides protection and glide in equal measure and the scent is clean and fresh
I don't have to tell you all how good the 34C is, a tried and tested design since the 1930's.
Smooth shave with this razor/blade combo
Three passes left me BBS, without irritation or mishap.
Proraso Green is my favourite aftershave. Menthol cooling and good skin toning that really works for my skin.

Prep ~ Face wash, Donkey & Goats milk soap
Razor ~ Blackland Sabre, level two base plate
Blade ~ Pal Super - Carbon steel
Soap ~ Lea (Tallow)
Brush ~ Semouge OC Badger
Post ~ BBA PSB
Scent ~ Club de nuit intense man

Shave Three with the level two plate, I used a blade I really like today and the results were as good as with the Gem SS but I feel the Pal Super's are a little smoother. However they are not cheap and only last a couple of shaves ( for me) so probably best stick to the Gem SS! :)
I finnished this lovely shave with a healthy spray of Club de nuit, a perfect finnish!

Have a great day people...the weekend is almost apon us! :) P.

Greetings All,

Thursday shave.

One growth and warm shave

Preparation – showered then face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)

Pre: None
Soap: OSP – Grapefruit & Menthol (thanks @Agent Shave)
Razor: Rockwell 6C (3P)
Blade: Wilkinson Sword (3rd)
Brush: Razorock 400 (face lather)

Post Shave: Hot then cold water rinse, then Nivea 2 Phase, Michael Kors EDT and to conclude Nivea Sensitive Cooling Balm.

New soap today – OSP Grapefruit & Menthol. Thoughts – I was a bit disappointed with the lack of scent however, slickness, cushion and post shave feel were excellent. This was also my first menthol soap and found it quite cooling. How does this soap's cooling rate to other menthol soaps?

Overall had a good shave this morning – not sure my skin likes the Wilkinson sword blade – looking forward to changing this as again, even though on a milder plate still had a few weepers (same places as yesterday)

Cheers,


Brian

p.s. If you have not used @Agent Shave I do recommend - service and packaging are excellent.

Friday's shave :)

Best shave of the week, so far, a cracker!

Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Cold-Tar Soap, followed by Village Barbour Pre-Shave Oil.
Razor - Blackland Sabre-SE v1.0.
Blade - GEM PTFE (Day 1)
Soap - OSP Grapefruit and Menthol.
Bowl - Little Wren.
Brush - Simpsons Chubby 2 Synthetic Badger.
Post shave - OSP Grapefruit and Menthol splash.

First use of the OSP Grapefruit and Menthol, which was awaiting me when I arrived home last night, along with some questions from the wife as to what have I been ordering now.

The performance and scent form the OSP Grapefruit was excellent, stunning. I feel that this will be a great summer soap! Its been a number of weeks since the Sabre-SE has had a run out. Superb shave - 3 passes on the face with only 2 needed on the neck - BBS +, if you can get such a thing :) The tiniest of weepers on the third pass, all forgotten after a cold water splash.

The OSP Grapefruit and Menthol splash really topped off the shave, a stunning scent and great on the skin!

@OSP thank you for producing such great software and hats off to @Blackland for the hardware.

Have a great day all,

Chris
