Wow...the scent is nice but somehow unable to really smell peach..perhaps just barely...truly YMMV. Lather was surprisingly thin but enough for 3pass. Slickness not remarkable...
another suprise...must be me, not dialling it properly.
Shave with razor paired with blade was just ok. Comfortable enough but can feel the blade not as smooth nor as efficient. Still good shave though. 3 passes with between bbs to dfs result and a tiny weeper on the chin. Post and aftershaves ensured a nicely soothed soft face and smelling great! Rating 9/10

Post:

Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade peppermint, lavender eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Witch Hazel Mixture./ Nivea Men ~ 2 Phase ASL + Sensitive PSB.


Greetings,


The LPL Fougere soap which is absolutely amazing, i only used a small amount but had enough for the full shave without going back to the sample tub to add more, the post shave feel is fantastic, as was the slickness,protection & fragrance, not 'full on' in your face, but a nice lingering scent...Both the OSP & LPL Fougere are on my soap wish list now, but not for a long while yet though.

I've far too many soaps & creams to contend with & to appreciate before purchasing anymore.

I'm running out of compliments for the Ever-ready se razors, yet again this vintage lady performed with great smoothness resulting in another 3 pass + pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Nivea Men ~ Sensitive PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

First shave since Friday, as I've had some flu symptoms and was far too fatigued to shave. Not out of the woods yet but needed to clean up my face, feeling better for it too.

Have a good day gents.

I dont usually mention bowls but very pleased with this one. So much better than the thimbles described as same.

I bought this slant on the strength of reading the Chinese razor thread and very impressed with it.

My first use of this blade and it performed well in the Yaqi perhaps too well I think a bit of Proraso PS might have helped.
