Greetings,
(Face & Head Shave) (Shave Cream week)
A new shave set up to start the weekend. Another maiden combined face & head shave with the 70's Gillette tech paired up with the Feather Hi Stainless.
I had all intentions of using a GSB blade, which is a great match but changed my mind at the last minute and used the Feather Hi Stainless instead which was a great choice as it's another great efficient match for this tech. The appearance & weight of the short nimble aluminium handle gives the overall appearance of the razor an almost "toy-like impression" that the razor is a gimmick however, as the saying goes "looks can be deceiving" this is definitely the case with this little workhorse vintage razor fitted with the Feather and using good technique it performed wonderfully.
It's been some time since I last used the Ingram shave cream and forgot how much of a good lather it is with a nice menthol kick.
Another cream that I intent to use in my future shaves.
I'll use the razor & blade duo for all of my shaves this week to get reacquainted to both of them again. A great duo.
Another close comfortable efficient combined face & head shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Bulldog Original Moisturiser.
My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
