Two Pass Shaving Routine...:cool:

Hot Water prep & massage with Coconut Oil
French PRIMA SE
Gem Stainless Modified Blade x 2
Semogue Boar Brush
Erasmic Shaving Cream (added Argan oil)
Organic Aloe Vera Gel
Logona Mann Aftershave Balm

I am using a cut down Gem stainless blade in the French Prima...This razor is very aggressive and take 100 % focus...I haven't used it enough to get familiar with it...This is the second time I have used it and it whacks down the whiskers with ease....I settled for a nice smooth DFS result....The PRIMA is a high class razor...This thing has a real high quality Nickel Plating and is quite a heavy weight...The handle turns and pushes at the bottom to release the top cap very much like a ball point pen.....These were not meant for the Ruffians & the Vagabonds that's for sure....Classy & Rare French Job at their Best....;)

Mastro Livi Grifetto 60, De Vergulde Hand and Floïd​

Yet another good shave. I already mentioned how good Mastro Livi Grifetto 60 is - as well as regular Grifetto - but whenever I use Floïd it always adds an extra luxury touch to my shave. This time I used the Dutch De Vergulde Hand, a soap I like although it sometimes seems to dry the skin too much. A generous pass of alum block, then argan oil, and the skin is ready to receive the pleasing and refreshing touch of Floïd The Genuine aftershave. And I am ready to start a new day.​

  • Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
  • Soap: De Vergulde Hand
  • Brush: Omega Bristle 10275
  • Bowl: Chinese Bowl
  • Strop: Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop and Hand Palm
  • Razor: Mastro Livi Grifetto 60, 6/8 Full Hollow, Round Point
  • Post-Shave: Alum Block
  • Post-Shave: Argan Oil
  • After Shave: Floïd The Genuine

Argan Oil is great stuff as you know...I actually add about a tea spoonful to my soap or cream...Always...o_O

Quick n' dirty 'cos I was in a hurry, Mrs Murray....

Merkur 34c, BiC
Blue Stratos Shaving Foam
Blue Stratos AS
Coconut Oil

Off to my wee brother's for more 'gairdnin' this morning and Mater just happened to mention that if I moved my hint end, she'd pay for breakfast at a Toby on the way. Being naturally responsive to bribery and corruption, I rushed the shower and the shave but still managed half decent results. 7 Sausages, 12 slices of bacon, 2 fried eggs, scrambled egg, pile of beans, tomatoes, bucket of mushrooms, tattie & onion hash and a doad o' the broon sauce plus two mugs of coffee. Hey man, I'm on a diet so had to cut down a bit, besides, I felt that was an elegant sufficiency as opposed to my usual elephant sufficiency.....;):rolleyes:

Fell asleep in the car despite the caffeine!

This was my first shave since getting Nico1970's pass around Black-Jack,I first off scraped a little bit of MLSW 'The Kraken' into a bowl,and worked it,and worked it,and then worked it some more...Buy the time my wrist gave up,I had managed to glean a small amount of lather,so,on the face it went.And then it was gone again!,so I decided that 'The Crapen' not only looks like a bar of 70's blue 'Shield' bath soap,smells like it,but also performs like it.
So with a good lathering of OS,off I went,first on 7,but that was leaving quite a bit behind,so up to 9 it went.Very nice!.2 pass,touch up BBS.
Damn fine razor that.

The MLSW worked well for me? Deffo YMMV and all that.

I also found it worked best on the high settings.
