Razor = Blackland Dart
Blade = Personna Platinum ( 2 )
Brush = Highland Hibernian Home 26mm Boar
Soap = Shamrock Tweed By Wickhams
With matching balm.
Splash = Skin Bracer.
Another perfectly acceptable shave although i’m surprised with this one.
Im normally scared of the Dart but tonight it was a pussycat paired with a blade i’m not keen on yet the shave went very well.
3 passes of wonderful lather.
I very rarely do three passes with this razor as normally the third pass bites me in the arse lol.
But it’s been that long since i used it i actually forgot so i went with the 3 bit no issues.
NHS 24 was on speed dial just in case but zero weepers so im over the mood.
Here’s a little about the razor iv been playing around with.
Unfortunately not all the info is factual as Ai gets it wrong.
i haven’t checked this one 100% but i think its about right
