A sad evening shave as I used up the last of my Valobra. On a bright note, the shave was outstanding!! Not one iota of resistance.

A simple shave today without too many over bearing smells. Off to the Trafford Centre and will no doubt be fragrance shopping so I wanted something mild.

First ever go with a Gillette green blade, not too bad at all, think I still prefer the yellows though. I've got enough sample tucks of different blades to try to see me through the rest of the year and then I will buy 200 of the winners (Gillette Nacets so far).

Virtually the same shave as Saturday only difference the brush and setting the razor at the higher 5 setting. Great result before heading out to attend a boring refresher course this afternoon. ( not just school kids have to attend technical refreshers )

Thanks, patience pays off eventually. It took me a long time looking before a reasonable price showed up. Wish I had the case for it

Clinging on to the last remnants of Summer with a bit of citrus! Lovely workday run around and I'm sure this setup will remain in rotation over the colder months....

[Sunday's shave was a repeat of Friday's., but with Capra Derventio soap instead of Britannia, so no post]
Monday's Shave:

I gave the Blue-tip a damn good clean and got the green off the underside of the plate; this left it ready for my use.

As it is supposed to be super-mild, I was surprised to note that it is pretty much identical to my standard (non-coloured) USA flare-tip. At 45g, nowhere near as heavy as the 68g Red-tip, so needed a bit of extra pressure, but loaded with a Nacet gave a DFS! I suppose this razor was aimed at those doing a tidy up before heading out in the evening, or those with very sensitive skin?

Happy with the razor and the Hibernia soap that I got a travel tin of - I now need to get the splash to match this one, very nice indeed. I finished with Leodis splash as this has citrussy notes in it.

Anyhoo, good start to the week.
