Greetings,
A new shave set up to start the weekend...I've continued using blades, that i've infrequently used in my shaving den.The Silver Star blade are made in Egypt by the Lord company,another blade that i've only use a few times, and find them smooth & sharp. I'm pleasantly surprised how much the silver star blade paired up with the ball end tech. A excellent combo, very smooth and efficient.
It's been ages since i last added the the bath House spanish fig & nutmeg soap to my shaving soap rotation after a 5 minute bloom in warm tap water then loaded up with my damp horsehair,then face lathering i rewarded with a excellent lather in no time, adding a good amount of water to the tips of the brush in between each pass,leaving a superb post shave feeling to my face...A very good shaving soap, with a very pleasant and fresh spicy fragrance ideal for the autumn & winter months.
A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.
Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.
My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.
Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.
