And the theme for this exceptionally early morning at work shave was 'Get in there'

IMG_20200821_200149.jpg

Rare I ever make an early entry so yup, I thought 'Get in there'

A half half shave using the very kindly gifted 'Maestro' straight to practice on this areas I feel confident about outside of a pork chop. And the brass General with a Feather Super Professional for those areas outside of a practice piece of meat.

Brush and lathering curtesy of Alvarez Gomez and the Yaqi Dandelion and a damn fine fluffy job they did.

Altogether one great shave and a very happy smiling man at this end. Just to ruin a happy smiley shave I find myself sat on the River Mersey on a shit night waiting for the next job to arrive at an unsociable 0200. Bollocks.

No scent tonight so as not to worry the crew too much and so a touch of diesel behind each ear to give that macho impression. If only they knew better.

I wish everyone and your families a safe and wonderful Weekend.

What more would you expect?

RR Syn. 22mm
P & B Citra Royale
Occams - Hiram Commander /Plate No2
Schick Proline [ 1 ]
Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

A good way to start this Shaving Week, a fresh blade in the Razor. In fact the first use of a Proline in the standard Hiram set up [ sold only with a No2 plate] , but I opted for a Plate 3. In hindsight this was a bad decision, as the Standard set up with the Proline blade is so Smooth yet efficient, and I had no problems attaining a trouble free Top Notch finish. A really good Razor, which has had poor reviews because they released items not up to standard, thus alienating potential users. Get a good one and you are in for a treat. I suspect may become a collectors item rather like The Cobra.

2 wonderful passes today with the Dovo, WTG then a multi pass even some ATG strokes under the chin and on the neck, result DFS+, i could not ask for more, the edge put on by @RussellR5555 is really nice, smooth as butter for me. Thank You
I am pushing the CR Salter this week as it is coming to an end, i have been over loading really to get shot, it will be the first soap i have managed to finish, it is quite old as i bought this tub on my last venture into Str8 shaving around about 10yrs ago.
Stay Safe and enjoy your day All

Sat 22 Last Island Shave
Cream Arko Sensitive
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor Gillette Red Tip A3
Blade Sharp JAWS Platinum 1st
Postshave Special Thayers Mix
Aftershave Reuzel Wood & Spice
Last island shave...another calm day and seems appropriate for the Arko. Nice creamy and slick lather with very pleasant scent.
Shave with razor paired with this blade was great! Sharp but very smooth and comfortable. 3+1 multiple direction passes gave a close bbs to dfs result without any issues at all. Mid efficiency. Post and aftershave was fantastic as usual. Rating 9.5/10
