Outstanding lather quality! Very rich and creamily slick, the scent is just too light. Wayyyy...too much from just a little...
I am just enjoying the best shaves ever with this AC razor and blade setup. Unbelievably effortless silky smooth, comfortable and efficient for 3passes resulting in another continuous bbs session. Found myself reluctant to return to DE but AC blades are just too expensive...hahaha

A very enjoyable 2 pass shave this morning giving a comfortable DFS+ result.
I started with a light loading of the Brush tips from the trial Cream and started the lather off in the bowl, as it began to form i finished off on the face ending up with a lovely slick covering. Its good stuff this new OSP cream.
After a face rinse and chin check i built up another covering by just adding a few water drops to the brush tips and face lathering, all good.
A nice post shave routine setting me up for the day.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Today's feature presentation brought to you in glorious monocolour has been themed by the regulatory board for theming things, 'The council tip and other recyclable stories' (PG-13)

IMG_20210306_064727.jpg

Scrap metal - Occams Enoch
Medical sharps - Titan Mild
Wood and timbers - Wee whisky barrel
Clear glass - Abbate y Mantia
Waste oil - Abbate y Mantia colonia

If I am going to go to the local recycle centre then I am going to be the smoothest shaven and best smelling person at the tip. None of these builders bum, forlorn unkempt facial appearances approach. No! I am going to be the man of the moment. Welcome to the Bootle recycling facility.


'Now go away you, you, you unshaven furry faced juvenile. This is my gal I found over at the hard plastics skip'

'Pssss love. I've never grown facial hair in my life'

An early start for tip duties and an early shave to make myself presentable. Just to sit in a bloody queue for 40 minutes. Longer than it took to shave using the ultra quick and nimble Enoch. A razor which almost equates to being an AC blade on the end of a stick which makes the General V2 appear huge.

The more I use this Occams offering the more there is to love. Very well matched to the Titan as anything else and it starts to take quite an aggressive stance which will quite happily shave strips of skin away. Strangely given its name, the Titan Mild still has a very assertive edge and doesn't miss a hair. Smooth as buggery to boot.

Another trip out for the Krokos and it turns in yet another stirling performance. And another bit of sink time spent with a gilded looking appearance. I really do love this scent and the Colonia just adds to the experience.

So yet another brilliant shave from a bunch of top class shaving artist implements and a great start to the day. Back to the tip to see what beautiful maidens I can wooo by the by the side of the household waste container. The most dapper man at Bootle waste management site by far.
Another lorry load of waste razor blades from Satanfriendly's place.

Have a great weekend forum folk and may everyone, their families and friends be well and safe

A shave without some sweet looking Japanese ladies wouldn't be a shave would it? So someone new to get your toothbrushes or sterident in to. Enjoy




And I love everyone
