Another new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend.

The lathering performance from the Abysso shaving soap is superb providing a great slick protective wonderfully scented lather in a short space of time.

Another close comfortable efficient combined face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

My top favorite soap & splash set...the sweet aromatic pipe scent is just marvelous!
Enjoyed a beautiful shave with this audible razor. Initially, I was not too fond of this hollow ground edge but now loving it...I guess back then I was still inexperienced...
 

really nice little shaver. I expected it to be more aggressive than a tech, say, because it's open comb, but it's really smooth and pretty mild. went with gear I know well, went carefully and got a great, familiar result. not incredibly close but no irritation or aftershave sting. will try a sharper blade next. fantastic shave on a lovely sunny morning.

OREN +++
Feather Pro Guard
Spanish Leather
Henri et Victoria badger
Vintage Avon Musk for men

An excellent combo today. Almost bbs going wtg, needed minimal atg and pick ups to finish a proper bbs with no issues.
The Avon a/s has a very distinctive scent reminiscent of barber shop. As splashes go it’s not that long lasting but does give a refreshing feel after a close shave.
Enjoy the weekend fellas!

Ikon Deluxe DLC
Treet Platinum
Floïd Mentolado Vigoroso

Lovely Saturday shave. The Trafalgar picked up so much cream that I had enough rich Taylor’s lather for three shaves! Two comfortable passes with the Ikon and I soon had a smooth face. A splash of Floïd started the day right.

L’Occitane Cade cream

A nice change today as I used a cream rather than a soap. As usual I overloaded the Brush, but as a result got a rich creamy lather to shave with. Very pleased with the finished Shave, an all round close finish.

Face - Mergress - Treet Classic - Simpson TSN LE best - Williams Menthol Cool - witch hazel - Floid Mentally Vigorous - Creed Aventus

Sometimes I surprise myself with my stupidity - it's a warm day here - what could be better than a freshly shaved 'minty heid' and a nice mentholated face shave? Yeah great. Let's do that. Go into mindful mode - not paying attention - until it occurs to me something is a bit weird about this. Ah yes! The cooling effect of the menthol creme is somewhat dissipated by preparing it in a toasty warm scuttle. Fcuk me. What a twat. Enjoy yours - I.
