Helloooo Baby!
A fantastic shave today and the much anticipated return of the Blackland Vector
Today I used the Edwin Jagger Lime & Pomegranate cream sample, there was about an almond sized amount in the pot, it all went in the bowl and the Simpson made real short work of lathering it up, the scent is very nice - if you like the lime citrus type scent - I do, it has a nice gloss finish and is not too heavy, it felt nice on the chin and had good staying power.
So up steps the slim, very nice looking, easy to manoeuvre Vector, fitted with a Kai "pink", she is just so nice to use, the first WTG pass was easy, she cleared up without issue, do I have a blade in it I thought? and the smile on my face growing.
2nd pass XTG giving some audio feedback, again no issues to report. After a face rinse I had a DFS+ finish, there was plenty of lather left and I was really enjoying the shave so no buffing, I completed a 3rd pass ATG. BBS - ta daa.
During the final rinse I noticed the soap had left a nice post shave slick feeling to the shave area, this cream is my kind of bag.
Some indication from the block on the left side of the neck, although I believe it was the remnants of yesterdays trial shave with the SS Clone, it went pretty quickly. A splash of witch hazel and it calmed down as quickly as it came.
The Bart's Balm AS Lotion soothed the area and I was ready for an AS splash. On closer inspection of the sample I found it was CK Be, its was nice, Woody & Musky with hints of Citrus. I now realise that the Assistant in the Perfume shop I use has sort of got what I like and has been handing me samples of scents I will like.
If I Had to, I mean really had to, only have 1 razor the Vector would be it. She is fantastic.
Have a great day All
