Greetings,


A new shave set up to start the weekend...Shave cream week and for the next month or more, i'll be using my slant razors with my SOTD set ups pairing them up with blades DE blades that i've infrequently used, or yet to try. Starting the first week with the Parker 55SL & the zorrik SP DE blade.

The zorrik SP paired together with the parker 55SL wonderfully feeling comfortably smooth with no tugging or dragging issues throughout the shave.

The G F. Trumper violet cream provided a slick protective unique scented lather in no time and a excellent post shave feel.

A enjoyable 3 pass +pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Nivea Men ~ Cooling PSB.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Interestingly I found the ATT S2 smoother than the Parker 55SL and I'm not normally a fan of OCs. A very smooth finish and plenty of feedback from the (great smelling) ASL but I'm happy to spend the some learning this razor as I think it will be rewarding.
 
Last night and for the next few days I'll be shaving with ...

ACtC-3em6pEfNAfwyVgftFYoJa8sUMRRC3WJQ_UjoJDGjWsUNmVkuJpgYJJkpTqSr1axRGJmaOuJiEvZc26Tc2EwCn4SfJ_JPxchAVcoECu7mRhZhVx1AvcmEUQucN16rkDHVsIby-UnGvyXsE3XkJ2oomypXQ=w1200


Wash with Ach Brito Glyce
Lather up with the mighty Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap & AP Shave Co 'Winter' Silksmoke 26mm
Shave with Gillette Tech (late 1970s GB) & Treet 7 Days Platinum
Single pass does it for me ...
Witch Hazel < nothing more as I'm really enjoying the simplicity of this at the moment

Oh, my! Oh, my goodness! I shaved with this combination last night and I think it was the smoothest shave I have ever had, almost as if there was no blade in the razor. I actually did two passes (shhh!), I was enjoying it so much. Difficult to make comparisons as, personally I find the regular Treet Platinum to be a perfectly smooth and consistent shave yet other find them dull as a rusty Coke can, but these are a jump up from the regular Treet Platinum, perhaps a big jump up!

What I do like about the regular Treet Platinum is that from new to first to second to third to sometimes fourth shave, the shave is absolutely consistent. The next few shaves will tell me whether this blade is made to follow suit ...​
