This was a lovely shave. The lather from the SV was brilliant and the smell is divine. The BIC blade and Slim were made for each other. 2 passes for a DFS finish for the day.
The parker 22r / lancet SP was a wonderful smooth efficient duo. I've mentioned in my past postings that shaving products shaving produced in the sub continents don't get the credit they rightly deserve the Lancet SP is another example that you don't need to spend a fortune on DE blades to get a good shave.
Thanks for the feedback it's always welcome. Fragrance strengths of Essential Oils will vary and some will linger longer than others. Patchouli is quite subtle after initial use, but perfect for triggering hippy memories!19/7/20

The Treet Classic definitely gets a little sharper once the teflon coating wears through and with the BET, it was as smooth and efficient and efficient as anything, a truly delightful pairing - at times it felt like there was no blade in the razor and maybe that's why I got a little careless and let the razor slip at one point, and picked up a nick on my chin.
A few days into using @BrianH's new splash and in terms of performance I am very impressed with it. There's no ingredient list so I have no idea what it contains but in terms of how it performs to my other alcohol based splashes (my favourites are Benjamins Bay Rum w/Menthol) I'd say it's more mouisturising and the alcohol burn isn't as prevalent, then there's the scent which is a nice Patchouli one but not the strongest and doesn't stick to one's skin for that long (not a negative IMO, if I wanted a scent to last I'd use a EdT).
Anyway gents, have a good Sunday.

I've had good shaves with the BIC in every razor I've used it in so far. Definitely a contender for my favourite blade.That brush really looks a delight as well.
The Bic blade works really well with vintage Gillettes, I think it kind of goes a little under the radar to how good it really is.
Thank you, take careJust to add to this Brian, your Danum soap is the only soap that I have, were the scent is still with me later the next day. Subtle but it's still there. Great stuff.
