(Face & Head Shave)
New Shave set up to start the weekend. It's been a while since I last used the Mühle R41. Using the lightest of touch it mowed through my face stubble with effortless ease with no irritation weepers, or cuts.
"What a wonderfully efficient shaving tool the Mühle R41 is". I need to start using this razor more often.
The Feather Hi Stainless are superb blades but only give me two amazingly very smooth & efficient shaves, then the longevity & smoothness of them deteriorates, which isn't a big issue for me. I'm not a one to push a blade to just get an extra shave from it. I always have "Quality, rather than quantity" in mind with any blade I'm shaving with regardless of its cost or reputation.
I find over-sharpness in a blade is an Achilles heel and burns out quickly that's why I prefer DE blades that are slightly less sharp as in my personal opinion they keep their cutting edge longer & overall are more durable to use.
A close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Ard Al Zafran Dirham Oud EDP to the pulse points.
My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
