A new weird combo today, firstly tried out my new Parker A1R Travel Razor, just to make sure it will be good to go when required, very very impressed, I could almost say it was a better razor than my first ever DE razor the Merkur 34C
I paired it with a Feather Stainless blade that was on its 2nd outing, it was a very nice shave, and I’m beginning to see why people love these blades as much as they do, super close BBS, not much effort required, zero nicks or issues.
Along with that I tried a new to me soap manufacturer Signature Soaps, the Danum (Patchouli) version which reminds me of smells I remember very fondly from my childhood, I also tried it with the matching ASL thanks to
@BrianH who kindly included a sampler, this soap has imedietely gone into my top 5, maybe top 3 out of my 40 odd soaps/cream
It lathered up really easily, had amazing residual slickness even after a pass was done, smelled great, I’m gushing but it really is that good.
I picked up the Brittania version too, which smells amazing, I can really smell the Aniseed.
Having a rare day off today, mainly because my boss is a nightmare for not giving holidays (that’s me btw
Have a good Friday all
Joe.
