Greetings,
(Face & Head Shave)
A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend. I can't remember the I last time that I added the Boots Cool Cologne Lather Shave Cream to my soap/cream rotation, and forgot how it produces a good protective slick lather, with a nice clean fragrance...However, it's not quite as good has the Palmolive Classic cream, but still a good in-expensive shave cream, which i have totally under appreciated, like a few other shaving assortments I've neglected in my humble shaving den.
The Statum Platinum Chrome are another Indian made blade which my mature rhino skin type likes and paired together with the King C Gillette wonderfully. The characteristics of the SPC feel like an hybrid of the Treet 7 Days Platinum/Dorco prime platinum the smoothness of the Dorco PP with the assertiveness of the Treet TDP..I've came to the conclusion that if a blade works for the individual user with acceptable results that's all that matters. It doesn't matter where the origin of DE blade is manufactured. Most Sub-continent made shaving assortments don't get the credit they rightly deserve. Another excellent blade.
The Treet Swift II Platinum started to feel uncomfortable & tuggy on the ATG + Pickup pass on leaving my head feeling DFS/close and fortunately with no cuts or irritation. I will change the Cartridge head for for my next head/dome shave on Tuesday....Head/dome shaving dulls a blade edge much quicker than with face shaving. I'm not complaining as 3 head/dome shaves from a blade/cartridge head is good going IMHO.
A DF face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Arko Cool ASB.
My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
