BeeClean Peppermint Shaving Soap & Ever-Ready 100T w/Semogue 1250 Pure Bristle Reknot
KCG w/Yaqi Tsuka Handle & Lord Platinum Class (1)
Pashana Original Aftershave

Continuing on with Milky May and a local shaving soap which isn't great but isn't at all bad ...

The BeeClean soap contains a few things that interested me - rapeseed oil, borage, honey and sheep milk. It is an all sodium formulation though but when loaded up with a wrung out brush and lathered onto a wet face produces a sound and stable lather. Second pass is a tad thin from one loading but it does have superb residual slip and that's something I like on the second pass.

Super shave all round and the KCG reigns in the seethingly sharp Lord Platinum Class. Splash of Pash for afters and ready to enjoy my evening.

First try of a Lion blade in a long time. I didn't put an entry in the TSR blade review spreadsheet when I last (first?) used it. Can't recall why but I probably didn't do enough shaves with the blade. Something I intend to rectify this week.

A decent shave, enjoyable and easy.

Lovely SOTD photo, Arthur.
I'm no expert but, the lighting is fantastic.
SOTD photo of the year??

Thank you Paul
I sometimes experiment with random backgrounds. This time I used an old black pillow case, just switched off the electric lighting, and made use of the natural light.
Perhaps a few tweaks with Snapseed editor.

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

(Face & Head Shave.)

Another eclectic shave set up where everything paired together wonderfully.

The LEA Classic Sensitive Shaving Cream which I haven't used in some time created a wonderful lather in a short space of time.

The sandalwood scent is different comparing it to the Proraso sandalwood scent it's more of a light fresh sweet scent to my nose with a nice mild menthol kick feel and pairs together really well with the Floid ASL.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Bulldog Original ASB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine. ;)

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Shades of grey? Especially the weather. Meanwhile, at the sink, a very pleasant shave with some travel style accoutrements. A close and comfortable shave and a promising start to a grey day.
