Feather Portable

Smooth, comfortable shave. I'm using the Portable with a Parker handle which is a bit longer and it feels a nice combo.

Saturday afternoon.
Not my usual time, but as we are snowed in I was looking for something to do.

Prep: Wash face with a left over sliver of MWF, lather & massage face followed by a hot towel.
Soap: MWF.
Brush: Simpsons Duke 3 Best.
Razor: 6/8ths Puma 1938 (wicked).
AS: Thayers Witch Hazel followed by Aqua Velva Ice Blue.

I enjoy all three Puma razors I own, but this one just has "the look".

Lovely, fragrant shave. Wanted a super-smooth finish, and got it thanks to the KOS oil on tidy-up duty. Great little moisturiser, that oil.

The razor may have changed but the result is as good and that is very good indeed! Maybe Derby blades are just well suited for OC razors?

In any event, I'm extremely pleased.
