Greetings,
A new shave set up to start the weekend...Which i'm making a uber/superlather week,and using another Indian made de blade.
Recently i received a message from honourable member of TSR Chris , aka
@Boycie83 offering me a PIF of shaving creams & soap as he was having a shaving den clearance of items that he wanted to move on...Anyway, i accepted the kind PIF offer which consisted of the following...Edwin Jagger Lime & Pomegranate Shaving Cream,G F. Trumpers Violet Shaving cream, and some Van Der Hagen Glycerin Mango Luxury Shaving Soap, of which i've added to my SOTDs this week.
Starting off with a maiden shave using the G F. Trumper Violet shaving cream which I think is a very good shaving cream, with a unique, fantastic scent,mixing only a small amount together with the humble Williams Mug Shaving Soap creating a excellent Uber/Superlather with a equally superb post shave feel.
It's been a long time since i last gave my parker 55SL semi-slant razor a outing totally forgetting how much of a wonderfully non-aggressive yet efficiently smooth this indian made razor is.Paired with the gillette winner blade made a wonderful indian made shaving product match mowing through my stubble with effortless ease..I intend to use the 55SL for a full week soon to give this indian princess more use & attention it rightly deserves.
A very smooth efficient duo resulting in a 3 pass + picks BBS shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off in style with a generous Dollop of Creightons ~ Sensitive PSB.
My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.
Enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
