A simple two pass routine that always results in a quality bbs shave with this extremely sharp reliable beauty of a razor.It has a nice weight & easily cuts through my tough stubble.

That's a beast of a razor..you could chop a oak tree down with that, and shave with it the next day!

It has a very nice weight to it & is a pleasure to use.She's very forgiving but could easily cause some damage should I lose focus for a second.Thats what I like about razors.If you respect them they will never let you down.If you don't,well it's off to A&E lmfao haha

They certainly do.I've never had any episodes with my straight razors but had a few in the past with shavettes.Heel end dig ins that go very deep & leave a nice scar.All part of the journey though.

Currently using some of my favourite Vintage Injectors. Today it is the PAL S/S Adjustable, which for some reason gets a bad press from those unfortunates who cannot use it.
A good start with the choice of soap, which explodes as soon as touched with a damp brush.I thought yesterday
with the Schick N3 was good, but despite using twin blades it cannot match the PAL for smoothness and closeness of all round shave. IMHO based on today`s shave, this Razor gives the modern Se razors that I have tried a run for their money in terms of performance and ease of use. I know it is not all S/S, but I do have a Spare in case I break it.

Post: Proraso Red Aftershave
A nice shave today, I was chatting to someone on Instagram about Proraso products and fancied using them again, used red today. I am not a sandalwood fan by any stretch of the imagination, in fact Taylor's sandalwood burns me but this Proraso Red is top notch.
My third use of the Ladas and again it impressed me, this is my final use of the blade, I only use a blade three times. I will try a second tomorrow and see if this remains the case.
