Greetings,
A new shave set up to start the weekend...Yesterday i was picking out various shaving items for the coming week SOTD's i realised it's been a while since i last added my sample soaps to my shave set ups so this week is going to be a soap sample week. Starting the weekend of with the LPL Fougēre soap sample on it's second outing which was kindly gifted to me by
@patw along with a Every Ready 1912 SE (US) and a few other shaving soap samples for which i am very grateful to have. It's a french 100% vegan soap and to be honest this vegan soap is absolutely amazing, i only had to use a small amount but had enough for the full shave without going back to the sample tub to add more, the post shave feel is fantastic, as is the slickness,protection & fragrance..Not 'full on' in your face, but a nice lingering scent.Another wonderful soap which i've put my soap 'wish list' but not for a long while yet though..'I've far too many soaps & creams to contend with & to appreciate and use up before i purchase anymore'.
Out of all the dorco de blades that i've sampled, the Prime Platinum is my favourite, it's such a smooth forgiving, yet sharp blade that is suited to my mature 'rhino type' skin ,and has paired together with every razor i've matched it up with.A enjoyable shave.
A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of L'OREAL ~ Soothing Birch Sap Post Shave Balm.
My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.
Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.
