Greetings,

A relaxing Williams Uber/Superlather sunday morning shave.

Another Maiden shave with the Euromax P.C. blades which got thrown in with a Yaqi synthetic brush & a shaving soap job lot i purchased from ebay. The blades are made in indian for Eurostar general trading group,which is based in Dubai and are made from japanese steel apparently...Recently i've been having some fantastic shaves with my humble parker razors, so for the rest of the week i'll be shaving with my indian princesses..starting off with the 87R which matched up very nicely with the Euromax p.c. blade making another wonderfully smooth non-aggressive but efficient duo.


The derby lavender & Essential Lavender Oil added a superb soothing calming effect with the williams soap making the shave a pleasurable experience.

A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

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


My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.;)


Enjoy your sunday, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
