Greetings,
Early morning shave,
Second maiden shave of the week using the VDH shaving soap what i instant like about this soap is it's mosturizing goodness has a good slickness & cushion and very easy to lather with a nice mild pleasant scent mixed together with a small amount of the arko hydrate shaving cream created a more than adequate Uber/Superlather for the shave with a excellent post shave feel.
Out of all my adjustable razors the Ming shi 2000s,is by far the most assertive/aggressive, it has a strong reputation of a very Love/Hate opinion razor within the wet shaving community...I was past on mine from a family friend, i also have a spare one too which i purchased myself both of them have good blade enlignment, it is however a very aggressive razor, even on it's lowest setting it's still a very efficient razor you must be it's master instantly when shaving with this chinese made princess .It doesn't allow bad technique, or lack of concentration,and most importantly the lightest of touch and much respect is vital if not, it'll bite you for sure.
My shave this morning paired together with the gillette winner blade was a good match mowing through my stubble with effortless ease.
A pleasurable 2 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Creightons ~ Sensitive PSB.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
