Greetings,
Birthday shave...And the start of a extended long weekend away from the mill...Sheer bliss.
The shave setup for my special day i've chosen some of my favourite shaving products in my den since i started traditional shaving...Instead of my usual face lathering, i used my bowl instead, which created a wonderful thick protective lather in no time.
The Muhle R89,will always be a firm favourite of mine,a hard choice considering i have near equally favourite DE razors, but the R89 shines the brightest,and a close joint second are the Merkur 34C,37C &39C...+ my newly aquired Parker Variant. What ever blade i've paired these razors up with i've always had a comfortable dfs..
The Perma-sharp on it's 4th use, matched up together wonderfully, making my birthday shave a very pleasurable experience..
A very comfortable close 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Proraso ~ Eucalyptus and Menthol A/S.
The star performer of all my shaves this week has been the Perma sharp blade,However, i won't be taken it to it's 5th shave, even though it would probably still perform with smooth sharpness...I may test the longvidity of other blades in the future shaves...
My face is feeling smooth, & smelling devine.
I'm now going to enjoy the rest of the day, spending it with family & friends, and catching up on some well earned rest...us old codgers do need to take it easy once in a while..It's time to fill the zimmer with some nitro and burn some rubber!
Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen...I'm certainly going to enjoy mine.Regards. B.
