Last night's bit of sink time themed, 'Sensible'

20240925_194001.jpg

A very sensible razor - Timeless bronze
A rather sensible blade - Feather
Brushing sensibly - Cadman 24mm Cash
Makes sense soap - MDC Rose
Sensible Moisturising - Collagen
Scent and sensibility - Guerlain Homme


'Is this the best the man can give? Roll on his next shave as this is so dull'

An absolutely cracking shave and this Timeless continues to astound. A sixth outing from the same Feather blade? and still think it will go at least another shave. Oooo la la. I have rarely ever got beyond 2 or 3 before the edge has gone. Is this razor blessed? Because I'm not

A great day yesterday as 3rd year in a row I have managed to stay clear of being pre-diabetic since receiving a warning shot from my doctor 4 years back. Also second year of maintaining 13st 7lbs. A 25% weight loss since I started on the NHS pre diabetes programme and a completely different story when I look back.

Throw in a good dentist check up, two new pairs of glasses and all in all a good day.

So have the usual ending and some Japanese girlies to brighten up your breakfast reading

A top draw two pass shave this morning. Must be something in the air, as my Feather blade had completed it’s third shave and feels more than up to a fourth. Excellent stuff.

The start of my own personal budget shave week where I shave cheapest while still maintaining an excellent shave. The star and the biggest money saving is the Gillette 7 O.Clock DE razor which currently sells on ebay UK for £4.99 with free postage. It has a light plastic handle and the head is a bit roughly plated which some retailers call "matt" but it's a Gillette Tech and shaves like a Tech which means efficient and smooth. I've paired it with a Dorco Titan DE blade - quite frankly the only difference I see between this blade and a Gillette Platinum Russian is the price.

Shower,
Pears transparent Amber soap - 2 pack 100g for £2.15 at Boots
3P shaving soap croap
Omega 10065 boar brush
Gillette 7 O'Clock DE razor
Dorco Titan DE blade - Amazon UK Prime £5.99 per 100
Hot rinse, cold rinse
Lea 0% alcohol lotion
