Greetings,
Parker 87r razor week.
A new shave set up to start the weekend...A new shave set up to start the weekend....The Korean Dorco st300/parker 87r matched together wonderfully, the Dorco st300 blade isn't the most aggressive blade, but i find them very smooth and forgiving....My aim with every shave isn't to get a BBS, shave it's to get close comfortable error-free results. Today the st300 paired together wonderfully with the parker 87r resulting in a irritation-free 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...what more can a ask for.
Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Lidl Cien Aqua ASB.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Sat 10 SR SOTD
Soap B&M Seville 1st Use
Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black
Razor ZY430 2nd use
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Hyaluronic + Cella Milano Splash
Very nice rich, creamy and slick lather from the soap. The scent is good too...perhaps just a tad below medium.
Shave with this razor in 3passes was quite enjoyable & without issues. Smooth, comfortable, and easy. Somehow, this razor feels better & yielded the best result between the other 3 SR in my rotation now...hmmm

Prep: Shower with PAA cube unscented.
Pre: PAA cube unscented.
Soap: Geo F Trumper lime cream.
Brush: PAA Phantom Aerolite Synthetic Shaving Brush
Razor: Pearl Flexi
Blade: Rapira Swedish super steel.
Post: Alum, Bart’s balm sample.
Decided to give the neglected Flexi a run out today and only confirms why I wouldn’t sell it. Smooth on every setting, (even if I get a big nick from it under the lip when I’m too busy smelling the amazing new soap sample!)
I was recommended Geo F Trumper ages ago and can see why, not as strong as TOBS lime zest but somehow slightly creamier and looser lather if that makes any sense. A grr we eat alternative none the less with a great post face feel.
Bart’s sample was great as ever, the way the scents intensify is amazing!

Saturday's shave
D.R.Harris Windsor
Simpson Colonel
Frederick Reynolds 13/16 wedge
C&S Cuba ASL & cologne
Excellent service from C&S, I emailed them to say that I couldn't get their soap to work properly and they instantly apologised and refunded both the soap and the (ridiculously expensive) bowl. Hence I now also have the Cuba ASL & cologne!

RR 400. SE- Plissoft noir
P & B Spitfire
Schick "O" Clone
Schick S/S Twin - Japan [ 6 ]
P & B Spitfire A/S Splash
Due to my inattention yesterday my Shave was rather patchy. Today using the Same combo and with very little extra time, and by concentrating I got the quality of finish I associate with this pairing.
