Head over to my latest thread to see how this shave went:


Alternatively, save the precious time you have and read this: it was nice.
 
Tuesday 1st December

Wash with Ach Brito Glyce
Lather up with Wickham's 1912 English Rose & Macy Associates (Vintage) w/Muhle 22mm Synthetic
Single pass (three day) shave with late 1950s/early 1960s Gillette Tech & Lord Super Chrome (2)
Hot rinse, cold rinse, alum wash & Rose of Bulgaria Aftershave​

Another lovely shave with the Lord Super Chrome, which I find comfortable and would describe as a mellow shave. I'll have to run one against my favourite double edge razor, the Treet Platinum, to see if it might have some competition ... might just be a day to day vs Sunday shave kinda thing.

Smelling all rosey now with a feint underone of cigarettes and clove from the Al Rehab Superman I spritzed on this morning.
 
Brought to you in beautiful technomonochrome, I give you a shave themed 'Frogs are brilliant'

Ethel the razor - Stainless Mongoose
Freddo - Feather Super Professional
Kermit the brush - Yaqi Dandelion
Jeremy Fisher - Blenheim Bouquet cream
Some frog who went a-cortin' - Blenheim Bouquet



Annoying?

Indeed it was. May be Frogs are not so brilliant after all, but this shave was. In fact......... Effing brilliant

Smoother than any frog I can think of


As if I give a fuck

But never as smooth as those wonderful Japanese girlie's, Band Maid and their latest release.




And I love you all

Razor Fatip OC Slant
Blade Personna DE Prep 3rd
Post & Aftershaves
Ice Water + Thayers
Hyaluronic + Reuzel Wood & Spice
Nice soap. Good slick lather. The scent was more than mild and while it was supposed to be citrusy, all I can smell is musk and sandalwood....hahaha
Shave with razor paired with the blade was a revelation! Now, this is the real deal Personna blade for me....super smooth super comfortable!!! Compare to yesterday's personna comfort coated lab blue blade, definitely can feel the difference. Really enjoyable 3pass for a mostly BBS/DFD result without issues.Great post & aftershaves.
Rating 9.8/10 What a great DE blade! How to get more..hahahaha

This pic of the Triceratops gives a good view on how the blade is secured.
The Eco Warrior soap bar proved its worth again. Easy to face lather and a great complement to the Triceratops
I'm well smooth.
