Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend...Last week i used the Wilkinson Sword Premium (TTO) razor with all my shaves...This week i will be using the WS Classic...The WS classic is a mild razor which is a good every day/newbie shaver. The two piece design of the razor makes it easy to load the blade, covering the full blade with no exposure of the blade edges...The Blade gap is considerably smaller than the newer WS premium TTO...The razor/blade combo perform well together giving a comfortable shave if you rinse the razor more regularly to clear the blade gap due to it's small blade gap.

A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable acceptable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with some generous squirts of Mario Falcone EDT to the pulse points.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Brush Yaqi 24mm Green Mink
Razor Yaqi Slant
Blade Derby Usta 3rd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Proraso Green Splash
Nice lather quality but unsure about the scent. This is the 1st Stirling soap I can't smell much.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was just ok. Kinda smooth but somehow don't see stubbles being removed as normal. After 3passes, able to manage a SAS result with just a micro red spot. Excellent post & aftershaves because the temperature outside is around 35C and the cooling is much required.

Razor - Fleming & Son, Sheffield, England -6/8

Soap - OSP Tallow Cream (on test)

Brush - English Oak handled barber's silvertip brush - Steven Jagger

Frag - leather Oud - Floris of London EdP

Pen Porn - Platinum Izumo (Red)

Today's lather production mirrored yesterday's, I whipped up a thick glossy stable lather that was slicker than a Texas puddle. A pea sized amount was all that was needed to provide enough lather with some to spare for my two pass shave with the Fleming & Son of Sheffield, England straight razor I bought from @RussellR5555 who before he sent this lovely peice of history to me put the most wonderful edge on it using Japanese stones, thank you Russ, a beautiful shave was had and I will continue to use this setup for the week.
My skin felt soft and supple and a splash of cold water was all I needed after my shave.
I did however afford myself the opulence that is Leather Oud from Floris of London, a couple of spray's here and there was enough to have me smelling like a king :)

Until the next time, stay safe and well.

Paul.
