Greetings,

Another new shave set up to start the weekend....Maiden shave with the SuperShave X 'Snapped in 1/2' making another comfortably smooth assertive duo.

I intend to use the Yaqi Katana with my SOTD's until the end of 2020 after the comfortable error-free shaves i've had from this fantastic efficient razor.

It's been a while since i last used the Omega shaving cream and forgot how much easy it is to create a slick protective lather, with a good kick from the Eucalyptus oil to give my face sensors a wake up call on this fresh morning.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable/near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of Creightons ~Sensitive PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth cool, and smelling divine.;)

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

Post - Old Spice AS followed with Moisturiser

I thought I'd loaded the brush with more then enough soap for a decent lather, yet I only just managed two and a bit passes. I do struggle with this soap. Usually works ok with my one and only synth brush, which I purchased after @Scotshave suggested I try one with this soap. It's harder than MWF. I think it was @Digimonkey that also struggled with a particular soap. I will echo Scotschave's suggestion of a synth brush as it did work for me.

Despite my lather woes, I managed two plus worse effected areas and ended up with a smooth shave. Perhaps the thinnish lather helps.
