Greetings,
A early start for me this morning, needs must and all that...Yesterday my darling sibling informed me that she has ordered me a Manly Stuff DE razor as a thank you gift for all the brotherly love favours i've done for her and the rest of the family over the past year. Another addition to my DE razor collection! :)

My Parker 98R today performed with sheer utter brilliance, a effortless sublime 3 pass + pick ups,
Silky smooth shave with no errors to report,yet again.

Finishing the shave off with a generous helping of D.B. Instinct.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.;)

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

PALMOLIVE, never lets me down. I said to myself to use it more often but I tend to overlook it
So this morning I went for it, a slice of the shaving stick in the suribachi bowl and some warm water to bloom it. 24mm Maseto 2 band brush in my brown brush scuttle to soak. Off I went to shower, make coffee, etc.
Built lots of lather in the bowl then rested the brush full of lather in the brush scuttle while I drunk some coffee and looked for an appropriate music playlist on my phone.
The weapon of choice for this morning was Dovo Encina, warm, thick and sleek lather to my face and I started my shave :)
Three enjoyable passes followed by Thayers witch hazel, Fine snakebite and Dior Sauvage.
....and this is a soap that once my wife rescued from the bin.... obviously she knew better than me (this time :) )
