Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend...

It's been a some time since i've used the parker variant, paired together with the gillette 7'0clock SP made a wonderful efficient duo.However,because the blades are very sharp,they may cause irritation to some users, good technique the 'no pressure rule' respect & shaving confidence is required with these DE blades.

Because i haven't shaved with the variant for some time i've used the same settings for each pass until i get re-aquainted with this wonderful sturdy efficient indian made princess.

A comfortable 'face stroking' 3 pass + pick ups bbs shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Creightons ~ Sensitive Post Shave Balm.

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

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.

Today's shave:

rdt190817ijj1e.jpg


- Kappus Nautik
- Shavemac D01 Silberspitz
- Rotbart with Croma blade
- Tüff frisch pre-electric shave lotion

:D

The blue Tüff is meant for electric shavers, but the ingredients list is very similar to its red and green aftershave siblings, including skincare stuff like Hamamelis extract. I think it works just fine as an aftershave. The main difference I notice is that it clearly has the most of menthol of all three (hence the name; "frisch" = fresh). The scent is a bit cologne-like, maybe a muted but tarter version of 4711?

Jayaruh Syn. No67
Vitos Super Red
Occams V2/ No3 Plate
Feather Pro Guard [ 1 ]
Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion

Though I have used the Razor on plate 3 with other blades, this is my first time using the Pro-Guard recommended by the Supplier. This Razor /Blade combo works and has a nice degree of blade feel which really indicates how well the Shave is progressing. I was rather surprised at how short Shave Time was , yet the quality of finish is as good as the best I get from other Razors on rare occasions. I can confirm that in future I will be using the Occams on Plate 3 with this blade, and it may well be my choice for a Special Occassion Shave.

A slow shave this morning with the Feather AC SS, necessarily. Two full passes, no blood loss, and a very smooth finish, except around the end of my chin. I am very happy with the result, probably the best yet with this razor.
 
Executive Shaving handmade bowl
Razorock BC synth brush
Gentlemen's Face Care Club Caribbean Lime cream
Razorock Game Changer .84, iKon Bulldog handle
Personna Med Prep blade
Barts Balm Lime aftershave balm

Really pleasant if somewhat mild lime / coconut scent from the GFCC cream. Very impressed with the Personna Med Prep blade after first few shaves with one.
