Ah! The original that inspired the PAA Peregrino! Sweet.
 
SOTD 19-June
20210619_094754.jpg
Prep: Warm shower and PAA Cube
Brush: Razorock Monster
Soap: Extro O' Selvaggio
Razor: Friodur 17 7/8
Post: Cold Water and Barts Ben Nevis Balm

It's been a while since I've held a razor in my hand and thought twice, this thing looked and felt massive. Luckily though my fears were completely unfounded, perfectly maneuverable and scythed away hairs effortlessly even under the nose (which was still a concern even though the rest of the shave was going well).

I may still have to look into the 250 and 14 just to complete the set, but that's just gluttony. I think there's only 1 more that I actually want now by a certain Austrian manufacturer who makes some crackers and I will be content (I say that but I know what most of us are like).

Have a cracking day all!

Cheers

Marc

Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Soap: Pinnacle God Save The Queen
Brush: Multicolour DS Cosmetics handle with 26mm Ubersoft knot
Razor: 60's Gillette Tech head on Edward X Jacob barberpole handle
Blade: Super-Max Blue Diamond(1)
Post: Baxter's Balm

The DS Cosmetics brush has been neglected in my routines as it has been appropriated by my better half (along with my Flying Eagle razor and a couple of soaps :oops: ) Today it produced a fluffy ball of slickness with the Pinnacle - so soft puts some of my other synthetics to shame! Iwas right about the Tech with a heavier handle - that's right up my street. However the Blue Diamond was too mild to pair with it, andit took numerous tidy-ups to achieve an acceptable finish. More tests will be carried out. The GSTQ ASL scent is still a little bit out there, but changes once on the face to a milder version and is rather pleasant.

Have a great weekend gents:giggle:
