Greetings,
A new shave set up to start the weekend..i haven't shaved with the ming shi 2000s for a while,so i've kept all the passes + pick ups on setting 3 which mowed down my two days growth effortlessly.Setting 3 worked really well for me to get re-aquainted with this very efficient chinese made lady again.
The erasmic shaving soap bowl provided me with workable slick protective lather,the soap doesn't get top marks for it's fragrance,but makes up for it's performance, once it's been bloomed in hot tap water for 5 minutes.
A very efficient razor & blade duo that cut through my stubble effortlessly.
I won't deny the fact that i have a great fondness for indian made shaving products.The gillette-wilkinson sword (saloon pack) blades are another great favourite of mine i find these blades very sharp, durable and consistent with no signs of dulling...However, they can feel a little harsh on the first few shaves, and may cause irritation to people with sensitive skin...I've also got some chinese made equivalent,which i find pretty much the same in blade feel & longevity. As with all of my blades aggressive or non-aggressive before shaving with them i give them a quick hand strop to remove any hidden burrs 'or imaginary ones, this seems to tone down the harshness and cause no irritation..YMMV as they say.
A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups bbs shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Boots ~Freshwood ASB.
My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.
Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.
