Greetings,

Sunday morning shave.

The Palmolive classic shave cream is such a wonderful performer which creates a rich protective lather with only a small amount giving a great lasting classic fragrance throughout the shave, leaving a good post shave feel.

Another wonderful effortless 2 pass +pickups close comfortable shave with the Chinese R41 Clone Razor & Dorco Prime Platinum duo. to finish my shaving month of wonderfully.

Last Sunday morning face shave of May 2026....The reacquaintance to myself over the last few months using a DE razor for my head shaves after my extended long run of using Cartridge razors has been wonderful.

A close comfortable shave to finish the month off superbly.

In my June focus for my face shaves I will be using my Parker 87R & 94R DE razors paired together with the Treet Platinum DE blades. For my head/dome Shaves, I will be using the Indian Gillette Guard Cartridge Razor.

Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton-Lloyd Essentials No10 Bergamot, Neroli & Musk EdP to the pulse points.

My face is feeling smooth and smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Notes: After a long break I decided to use my Leaf Razor again for head shaving. Wowzers I had forgotten just how good this razor was, it's perfectly designed for the job.
The Rogue Mousse Iluminee is my favourite scent out of all my shaving soaps and it always puts me in a great mood for summer, matched with the Stinger razor and lovely brush I was in shaving heaven today.
10/10
 
Today's went well, and definitely got better results with a feather instead of an Astra. Couple of weepers but still gone in two and my skin feels a lot less sore than with the Astra.
