Having seen the success others have had using a single soap for the week, I'm going to do the same. As I shave every other day, this'll equate to 4 shaves. This week's soap of choice will be Executive Shaving's Citrus Kiss. I'll also give the Yintal Brass a run for this period. I bought the Yintal Brass for its handle but may as well see what the razor is like before adding it to the frankenrazor pile.

Everything performed well in the shave and I'm left BBS. I narrowly escaped some irritation on my neck through a little too much enthusiasm in that area.

The soap and razor seem a little basic and 'blue collar' compared to some of my others, but they certainly did their jobs, giving me a BBS shave.

Greetings,

Another wonderfully relaxing Williams Superlather sunday shave.

Recently i've finally started to use up some shaving items i've neglected for a long time, the Arko fresh shave cream is one of them, combined together with the Williams mug soap created a superb superlather leaving a excellent post shave feel to my face.

The lord L125/ Gillette 7'0Clock SP was another great combo,I've rarely used the Lord L125 ,another razor that was kindly passed on to me by a work mate. I've forgot how efficiently smooth yet, non-aggressive this razor is with the right blade choice.

A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Cien ~ Aloe Vera Body Lotion.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen.

New razor from MRed, beautifully handcrafted black satin handle. I appreciate the head design, the blade sits in snug and the end tabs are covered, so no overhang, it is a very efficient indeed with great audible feedback.
Whipped up the Martin de Candre with the Olive-wood Silvertip, as always a real pleasure scent, we'renot dealing with artificial rose scents here! Le Pere lucien was the topper of choice to complete the shave.
Have a great Sunday everyone!
