Greetings,


A new shave set up to start the weekend..After last weeks excellent first cold water shaves of the year, i've carried on doing the same with my shaves this week.

I recently used the Merkur 37C in one of my shaves, and was totally amazed how good the Merkur Slant razors are.Today i'm using the merkur 37C's bigger sibling to start the weekend off, paired together with the Bolozano S.I. blade was a smooth efficient duo..The Bolzano S.I. blade are only a fairly recent discovered favourite of mine the longivity of these blades is amazing.

A very comfortable cold water 3 pass + pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.

A lovely close two pass shave this morning. The R96 is an efficient razor, indeed. The first pass was almost close enough. The second was closer. The PAA soap is a winner, providing copious slick lather. The popularity of the MÜHLE Silvertip Fibre brushes escapes me, I think it is a little too prickly to be a favourite of mine. The Plissoft and Tuxedo synthetics represent far better value, in my opinion.
