Greetings,
Early morning shave,
(Face & Head Shave)
A close comfortable BBS face and head shave to finish the month off superbly.
The Dorco prime platinum blade still felt smooth and efficient on it's third outing, which in my opinion is very good. Doing a head shave with any blade is equivalent of two face shaves in my way of thinking, as I find head shaving dramatically dulls the edge of a blade, lowering the longevity of a blade much quicker than it does with face shaving. YMMV. Another thing that has impressed me with the Dorco Prime Platinum is that every blade I've used from the batch has been good, not one blade has been a dud. The manufacturing QC quality at the Vietnam plant is excellent.
In May I will continue my focus with Ming Shi 2000s Futur clone for my combined face & head shaves and continue to use a variety DE razors for my face shaves pairing them all together with the Dorco Prime Platinum and trying out the four packs of La Barbiera shaving soaps that I've had for sometime but haven't got round to trying them out.
Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.
My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.
Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
