Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend...It's been a while since i last used the KMF shave cream, it created a wonderful lather without drying out in between passes the post shave feeling from this shave cream is superb... The Treet 7 day platinum are another blade that pairs well with the Parker 98r... I forgot how smooth and sharp the treet 7 days blades are...The characteristics of them are very like the Astra SP blade in sharpness, with a slightly sharper edge ,which can be a little rough on the first pass, like a lot of DE blades, but after that they mellow out...As always DE blade opinions are very subjective.

Yet again i had to rub my fingertips with a alum block inbetween each pass to stop the razor handle from slipping while shaving.

A pleasurable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of L'0REAL Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Soap Stirling Iced Pineapple
Brush Yaqi 24mm Green Mink
Razor Thiers Le Grelot 6/8 - On Loan 1st Use!
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Lemon Chill + Stirling Iced Pineapple
Super nice lather from this soap! The scent is intoxicating, the lather is cooling, creamy & slick...awesome!
Trying for the 1st time an on-loan modern Thiers Le Grelot...beautiful looking, nice weight & balance with a smooth and comfortable edge honed on jnats. While the kind & generous owner showed how well the edge cuts through his whiskers (I was impressed)...he's in his 30s...my older whiskers say nope...:LOL:Managed in 3+1passes for a ccs result only. I have the owner's permission for this razor to go through the pasted balsa progression...yay! Let's see how tomorrow. Matching aftershave was great!

Wonderfully chilled shave this morning, for once had a ton of time. I've heard rave reviews for this barbershop, both on the scent and the kodiak base. So far I'm finding it to be good but there are much better out there, I certainly wouldn't replace it when it's gone whereas there are others in my lineup that I most certainly will.

Either which way a good finish and ready to take my little one to dance class, thankfully they don't try to get me to dance at all. Being a 6' 5" Yorkshireman I can sidestep fairly well on the pitch but I'm not sure I could pull off a pirouette!

How everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Razor: Schick Type F Injector
Blade: sChick
Brush: Trotter Handcraft Vein Quartz/26mm Boti Horse
Soap: Signature Soaps Hibernia
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Proraso Green Splash
Fragrance: Parfums de Marly Herod
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,109

So the Hibernia soap is a great Citrus scent that performs amazingly and the this Trotter Handcraft brush is a REAL trotter as I installed a horse hair knot. It felt soft to the face dry. No break in, just a 5 minute water soak and started lathering off the tub. Saw a couple hairs lost in the tub and 2 more on the face when lathering. Maybe a couple more in the sink were spotted so reasonable for a new brush. When cleaning it up, towel strop and drying the handle, no more shedding was seen. Have high hopes for this Boti 26mm Horse knot. It was a tad scritchy but not bad and assuming it will soften with use like a Boar. Smooth, refreshed and smelling great with the Herod EDP. Bring on the coffee and Carrot Cake. Have a Stellar Day Folks !

I thought I had nicked myself and as I moved the razor to check.................................... I nicked myself.....DOH! ..... Stupidity level 4 unlocked :)
Apart from that a 3 pass with a couple of touch ups resulted in a face feeler.
