"If you like Kona Colada and getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain''
Me, I love Kona Colada... another outstanding shave, with another outstanding soap that I always have impeccable shaves with... LUVVERLY!
 
Gilette Guard
Plisson Synthetic
DR Harris Arlington Cream
Bulldog Sensitive Balm
Acqua di Parma EdT

This was an interesting shave. I've had a Gilette Guard and a few carts for a while now but never managed to get a particularly great shave out of it. Earlier today I put a heavy metal bolt into the handle, stuck it in place with a bit of SuperGlue and decided to give it another shot. The added weight makes for an pretty good shave overall and a DFS was obtained in two passes.

Pre Shave: Hot Shower, Bulldog Face Wash and Proraso Red
Razor: PAL Injecto-matic
Blade: Chinese Schick (#2)
Brush: Kent BLK4
Soap: Cella
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers unscented
AS: Lucky Tiger Bay Rum + a little Nivea Originals ASB

A fantastic shave today, this is only the second time I have used the PAL Injecto-matic and the result was superb. Three passes, no nicks or weepers, no irritation and one very smooth face at the end of it.

I found the PAL very quick to get the hang of, getting the angle right seems quite intuitive, very pleased with this Razor.
 
Pre: Gillette Series Irritation Defence Pre Shave Wash
Razor: Gillette English SuperSpeed Red Tip
Blade: Gillette 7O'Clock Green Super Stainless (1)
Soap: Wickham Russian Leather (Sample)
Brush: Razorock 400 24mm Synthetic
Post: Dove Hydrate Post Shave Balm



New brush and new blade (well for me anyway). Bowl lathering for a change, the backbone provided by the Razorock 400 sure whipped a good lather indeed. I will continue to evaluate over the next few days.
 

What a beautiful brush. [emoji1]
