Greetings,
A new shave set up to start the weekend.
After a 5 minute bloom in hot tap water the WTP?! soap provided a wonderful slick lather for the shave, dipping the tips of the brush in water between each pass, leaving a superb post shave feel.
I've continued using blades, that i've infrequently used in my shaving den.It's been a while since i last shaved with the derby premium blade..When i first start ventured into the wonderful world of traditional wet shaving i had a very horrible experience with a derby extra blade,which resulted in giving me a nasty bite i was a little apprehensive using the derby premium on it's maiden shave but after the first few seconds of starting the shave i gained confidence very quickly because i now know if a blade is suited to my skin type or not in a few seconds the derby premium i find very smooth with no tugging issues with a smooth efficient edge, which is completely different to it's sibling the derby Extra,however thinking back now it was my 100% lack of technique & shaving confidence that probably resulted in the nasty bite i encountered from the derby extra when i first started out..I still have a few in my vast assortment of DE blades, which i'll add to my blade rotation in future shaves.
The derby premium paired together very comfortably with my Ming Shi 2000s, with the lightest of touch both the razor & blade was a smooth duo slicing through my stubble with effortless ease.
A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.
Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.
My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.
Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.
