Greetings,


A new shave set up to start the weekend. Carry on with the Gillette SP blade another subcontinent made blade that I've infrequently used in the past.

It's amazing every time i shave with this much loved 40+ years razor how well it shaves.

A pleasurable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS face shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a few generous squirts of OUD 24 Hours EDP to the pulse points.

My face is feeling super smooth and smelling Very divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Mr Palmolive. If you like the scent of the Bath House fig soap I can highly recommend their Spanish fig EDC. Quite sublime and different. Up there with among my favourites
 
Good morning gents.

Pre- Barts Cinnamon and Patchouli ASL
Soap- Signature Soaps Danum
Brush- Yaqi 26mm Timberwolf
Razor- Rockwell 6S (R4)
Blade- Gillette 7 O'clock Permasharp #7
Post- Alum Block
ASL- Barts Cinnamon and Patchouli

A perfectly acceptable effort this morning. I love this soap, easy to work up, great performance and scent.
A little bit of sensation with the Alum block but nothing out of the ordinary.

No work today so I'm going to chill out and stream my football match on the big screen.

Stay safe gents, have a great weekend.

After a Shave with the vintage Schick C1 I went for the modern Occam-Oren. The Oren feels quite like the C1 when shaving, and though the head is larger the quality of the finished Shave is not too dissimilar - Top Notch. Not on a fixed rotation so maybe try out The Occam-Enoch again now that I have switched to a less aggressive plate with sone success.
