Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade lavender eucalyptus,+ Tea Tree essential Oils Witch Hazel Mixture./ Gummy ~ Tradtional Turkish Tobacco Cologne.


The Real Shaving Co. ~ Post Shave Soothing Balm.


A relaxing Sunday morning shave.


The parker 22r / lancet SP was a wonderful smooth efficient duo. I've mentioned in my past postings that shaving products shaving produced in the sub continents don't get the credit they rightly deserve the Lancet SP is another example that you don't need to spend a fortune on DE blades to get a good shave.

Another very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of The Real Shaving Co. ~ Post Shave Soothing Balm.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine. ;)

Stay safe, and enjoy you Sunday ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

An early Morning Sunday shave while Mrs TC is having a lie in, Up today is the 1936 Stainless Rolls Razor with original blade. on standby i have the Rocnel 316-P.
A wonderful lather today with the scent still lingering as i write this, i will finish off my post shave with the balm and splash a little later as i don't want to disturb the Darlin'.
So, 2 passes WTG and XTG with the little Rolls, however, it was starting to pull a bit towards the end of the XTG pass, after a rinse off i was happy with the result although those pesky stubborn areas i could still feel on the finger-tip smoothness test.
I had the lather and the "TMDFRITW" ;) Rocnel SE-P on hand so i completed a buffing pass to finish off. That's better.
A cold water rinse and a rub of witch Hazel to finish off in the bathroom.
I have cleaned and dried off the rolls and completed a touch up on the blade, 25 laps on the stone and 50 on the leather to freshen the edge.
I really enjoyed that from the wonderful soap through to the witch hazel rub. Using these old razors really makes me smile.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

This was a lovely shave. The lather from the SV was brilliant and the smell is divine. The BIC blade and Slim were made for each other. 2 passes for a DFS finish for the day.

Razor RR German 37 Slant
Blade Derby Usta 2nd
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic + Reuzel Wood & Spice
Wow!! A&A Asian Plum...the scent hit was overwhelming! The entire bathroom and bedroom filled with the scent. My wife entered and commented. Love the strong scent but unable to differentiate.....overall just very nice. Just a little makes a lot of lather. More than enough for 4 passes. Save it for next day. Too precious. Creamy and reasonably slick.
Shave with razor and blade combo is so very smooth, sharp and comfortable. 3+1 multiple passes without any issues at all. Very close results...mostly BBS.
Icy water rinse followed by cooling Thayers ensured super fresh tingly face. Soothed by Hyaluronic and Reuzel Wood & Spice. 9.6/10
