Greetings,


( winter solstice shave)


A new shave set up to start the weekend...For all my shaves this week i'll be using my adjustable razors and humble shave sticks.

Once in a while i get what i consider a BBS shave, my shave this morning with the Indian made shaving product duo was flawless.

The Vie-Long brush & soap stick duo performed with brilliance, building up a slick protective lather on my face in a short space of time leaving enough stored in the brush for all my shaving passes without having to re-apply the shave stick to my face to create more lather.

A very enjoyable flawless 3 pass + pick ups bbs shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous splash of 4711 Cologne/ASL.

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

Only four more days before the big fella in the red suit and the white beard pays us all a visit.:love:

Enjoy the winter solstice ladies & gentlemen, & keep safe and warm.:giggle:
