What a shave! I have not used any of my Feather DE razors for over a year because they're all in storage and I was really missing them so when I saw the Emporium was selling off a little used AS-D2 I just had to buy it and as I am a holder of the Platinum Emporium card I received the platinum discount, so a massive thank you going out to
@Boycie83 , cheers Chris.
So now I have two AS-D2s along with my other Feather DE razors but it doesn't matter what I've got if I can't get to them does it!
Commencement of the shave....
The truly wonderful Italian soap from Valobra was whipped into a fabulous thick creamy lather with the aid of the equally wonderful Omega Italian boar brush with the colour's of the Italian flag in its handle, the bristles were quite soft but not floppy and with a little bit of scrub as you would expect from a new boar brush.
The Gillette Perma- Sharp blade worked beautifully in the AS-D2 giving an extremely smooth but effective shave. I had forgotten just how satisfying this razor is in use, the Japanese certainly knew what they were doing when they produced this razor, it's certainly in my top ten of DE razors.
I was left with super smooth skin without any nicks cuts or scratches. 10/10!
To finish I used a small amount of the BOC ASB and even though it is coming on to bed time I had a couple of sprays of Aramis because I never really feel a shave is complete until I'm wearing an edit / edp!
Perfectly shaved and smelling good.
I hope all your shaves were as satisfying as this one was!
Stay safe chaps, will be back soon.
Paul.
