Soap = Diver Down By PAA
Splash = Skin Bracer
Balm = The Watchman By Zingari Man

Another New soap for me today and it didn’t fail to disappoint.
An Absolute Class Scent and was a top notch performer.
i know some people dismiss all these new formulas but for me this CK6 is class,
I bought this Razor as a bit of a Gimmick but i actually like it a lot, the Doible Slant would indicate an aggressive razor but for me i think it suits me just fine & not anymore aggressive than say an Ikon B1.
Anyway a bit of a mix & match shave but i loved every minute
Stay Safe guys

PS-Signature Lavender Soap*
Brush-Proraso Pro
Soap-Danum
Blade-Feather ProGuard
Razor-ES Claymore V2**
AS-Barts Sample C

I don’t usually shave on a Saturday but the Claymore arrived in the post so I thought I’d give it a gallop.

*On a whim I used this liquid hand soap as a ps with no problems and the lavender is a bit of a livener on the skin.

** I noticed Chris had used the new Claymore with a Kai Captain blade so had a root about and found some ProGuards which usually go in a Cobra. Excellent pairing although the Claymore is a bit more forgiving than the Cobra. Easy blade fit which isn’t always the case with some SE razors.

Glad to hear your thoughts are much the same as mine.

Making the most of the final days of summer with my favourite scented soap of this summer…

Prep: Hot shower
Pre: have a great shave (HAGS) pre shave slicky face cube
Soap: HAGS watermelon
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Bic Astor (very sharp) (1)
Brush: Yaqi tuxedo 24mm
Post: HAGS watermelon ASL

Lovely 2 pass shave and just the right amount of menthol. The addition of the pre-shave cube (a total copy of PAA) really did boost the lather, but then I also loaded with more water in the brush. Either way, achiever my best shave yet with this greek artisan!
