Greetings,
A new shave set up to start the second lockdown weekend..I've unfortunately ran out of batteries for my humble Nikon Coolpix L18, so i'll be using my phone for a while until i can get out to buy another batch of batteries...At this present time like everyone else on the planet AA batteries arn't a priority.Enough said.
After a long run with the gillette winner special platinum coated blades,i've gave the astra sp blade a outing as i can't remember the last time i added them to my blade roatation.Second outing of the EJ limes & pomegranate cream, which was kindly gifted to me by @Boycie83 which provided a slick protective lather for the shave leaving a excellent post shave feel.
The EJ de 89 (kelvin)/Astra sp was a comfortable safe duo,resulting in a silky smooth 3 pass +pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.
Finishing to the shave off with a few generous squirts of Tommy Hilfiger bold edt spray to the pulse points.
My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.
Stay Safe,be strong,and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Cyril Salter / MS. ED2band
P & B Citra Royale
Occams - Oren/ Plate 3
Feather Proguard [ 5 ]
Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion
This is my 3rd Shave with a different Occams Razor. I thought it was a good one yesterday with the Hiram Commander was good, but this one today was even better. The Shave was smooth and comfortable and though there was little blade feel, the combo is so efficient that without any problems an ultra close all round finish was attained. Despite its quirky looks this just has to be one of the best Razors I have used.

Pre: shower & Face scrub
Brush: Jayaruh #355 Maggards Knot
Soap: Arran soap Co. Lochranza
Razor: Blackland Sabre
Blade: GEM PTFE S/S (4)
Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, homemade Witch Hazel
Balm: Arran soap Co. Lochranza
Aftershave: Arran soap Co. Lochranza
Back onto an SE today, i will mix and match this week with some DE's, Spice of Life and all that.
A lovely face lather with the Jayaruh #355, it is made for it, lovely on the face and it can basically lather any soap i throw at it.
2 Passes with the Sabre and a bit of buffing on the stubborn areas, leaving me with a DFS+ finish.
I find the Arran Balm really "feeds" my face leaving it soft and supple, finishing with a splash of the matching aftershave, the scent is quite light & not overpowering but made up of 2 fragrances i really like.
Stay Safe and enjoy your weekend All.
