IMG_0450.jpegDay 3 of the New Year & shave 3.
iv decided to shave everyday if my skin can take it and i have to say i took it to its limit with the Crimson Ghost.
I like these razors a lot but i have to say they are not every day shavers.
I haven’t used this set of soaps for a while so it’s good to be home trying different things. it does get tedious working away & pining for your favourites.
This time i have 6 weeks home so im going to enjoy every minute of it,
I haven’t had more than 2.5 weeks off at any giving time since pre covid.
I’m hoping done of you lads are effected by the storms & flooding.
Stay Safe

Greetings,

I haven't used the Nivea Men Sensitive Pro Ultra-Calming Liquid Shaving Cream which always provides a slick protective lather. It's gooey sloppy mess appearance on my first use left something to the imagination which put me in doubt about it. However, once i started to add a few drops of water to gooey mixture it exploded and became slick rich and protective with no drying out issues and superb post shave feel... It doesn't have much of a scent so It doesn't conflict with any post shave scent applications.

A wonderful effortless 2 pass +pickups close comfortable shave with the Parker 87R to finish my first week of 2024 superbly.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine.;)

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
