(Face & Head Shave)

A new eclectic shave set up to the weekend...I haven't used the HWF soap for a while and forgot how good it is for my mature skin.

An enjoyable comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Gibellini X-Bolt EdT. to the chest & pulse points.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine. ;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

After the first couple of strokes I should have halted the Shave. I was under the impression that the loaded blade was quite fresh, but it obviously was not. As a result of my stubbornness I was rewarded with a most unsatisfactory Shave. Next Shave will be with this Razor and a fresh blade.

Cracking shave this morning, sadly didn't have time for the straight but that'll come tomorrow. Nice smooth and irritation free finish. The scent on this SBS is very pleasant, if only I could get my hands on the EDP to finish it off. Might have to see if there is something similar floating around this side of the pond.

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers

I went with the Asylum Rx yesterday but fitted with a Schick Proline P-30, not the Titan mild pro touch mild I used in the Shield GR5. It’s quite a heavy razor even though I fitted a Shield titanium handle, and needs to be handled with due care and attention. However, it was early and I managed a couple of nicks on my neck, the first blood loss for quite a while. Today I went with the Yaqi Excalibur but fitted with a Titan mild pro touch MG. Result was not quite bbs but after yesterday‘s minor problem I was more cautious. I needn’t have worried though as this blade is exactly what it says on the box “mild”. I would say though that the Shield GR5 Titanium AC does give an overall better shave, helped a great deal by its lighter weight over the Excalibur.
On the lather front there were no issues, vintage ER brush still doing a sterling job distributing lather to the right places. Apothecary 87 shave cream decanted into a Treenware bowl has an amazing scent and I love using it.

Enjoy the weekend fellas,

Brilliant Razor/Blade combo today producing a wonderful shave.
Looks like the worst is over with the storm and we have been lucky getting through it without anything major in our area.
Enjoy your day all.

The star of the show was the soap. My first encounter with Brian's soaps, and it certainly did not disappoint. Loads of thick and slick lather, excellent scent (subjectively ofc). A very pleasant shave.
