Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend...Another wonderful performance from the Nivea Men trio, It's been some time since i last used the Wilkinson sword Classic blades and forgot what a good balance of sharpness and smoothness you get from them. They definitely are not as sharp as the Indian & Chinese Gillette WS, but they perform with enough efficient & smoothness with good acceptable shaving results.

The Wilkinson Sword razor & blade duo)worked well together mowing through my stubble with ease providing great audio feedback telling me its' cutting through my stubble.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable/near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with small dollop of Nivea Men Creme.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.

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

Shave of the day 6th February

Razor - Gillette Tech with Ti handle
Blade - Polsilver Stainless, Lodz Poland
Soap - Figaro P.160 Tipo Normale
Brush -SJ. Yew handled barber's boar
Post - Thayer's Astringent
Frag - YSL Kouros EdT

Back to basics shaving this week,
the dependable Tech paired with the Lodz Polsilver, the outstanding P.160 shaving soap whipped into a fabulous lather with the yew handled barber's boar with a 1965 penny set into the base of the handle, made by our very own @Steven_Jagger.
Apart from a small nick to my ear lobe caused by my carelessness and the tab on the razor blade the shave was a good one leaving me with smooth skinned and happy with the shave.
Finished with a spray or two of Kouros, perfect!

The pen porn today is my Kaweco Supra in Stainless with the extender tube removed, because I like it like that!

Until the next time,take care and stay safe.

Paul.
