Another nice shave with the Dart/Rapira PL combo.
A very nice lather from the Arran soap.
I did get a couple of "skips" from the razor during the WTG pass long strokes, i got away with it apart from the tiniest of nicks on the side of my chin - Blade feel and poor angle/technique i think?
A very nice post shave. Everything working pretty well together.
BBS, Feeling and smelling good only rating the shave 4.9/5 due to the nick.
Have a great Day All.

First shave with my recently acquired Gillette New Shortcomb (yesterday). Cleaned and sanitized, the razor delivered a smooth DFS to both face and dome with a first-time new blade. Great shave, with a wonderful razor. The jury is out as to whether I prefer this razor to my silver plated Gillette New Standard. The blade is sharp and smooth, and reminds me of my Kai blades. I'll have to try them in the AS-D2 to see if they perform as well in that razor. In any case, this razor is currently going into the rotation. I feel clean, smooth and refreshed.

Greetings,


Early morning shave.


It's been a while since i last had a 'Full On' menthol themed shave.The ingram menthol cream i haven't used for a while either and forgot how little is required to produce a good amount of protective slick lather,with a good punch of menthol within it.

The new gifted shaving mug is a wonderful addition to my shaving set ups, i fill it quarter of the way with hot tap water, then place a plastic reducer bowl over the top which keeps the lather warm for the duration of the shave.

A wonderfully smooth 3 pass + pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of The Real Shaving Co. ~ SPF15 Anti-Ageing Moisturiser.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.;)

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
