Razor GEM Clog Pruf

Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Bergamot Lavender + Stirling Executive Man Splash
A wonderfully nice soap. Lovely scent and a dense creamy slick lather...top class!
The shave with this razor paired with the well-used blade was acceptable...kinda scrappy, but surprisingly good result. 3passes for a dfs finish without any issues. The blade will be retired. The aftershaves were terrific!

Post: HAGS Resurrection AS

Decent shave, first run with the resurrection soap. The smell off the tub didn't grab my attention, in lathering the scent seemed to improve but again not one that wowed me. I also had to work particularly hard to get a workable lather, I used similar amounts as I might with B&M or A&E and it just didn't come together. I'll pile more on next time and see how it goes.

Finished off with the AS, now this was a massive improvement, the scent much better and more in line with what I was expecting. I'll see how the next run goes but as a first outing with HAGS it doesn't make me itch to go reaching for my wallet to get more.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Monday

Reverse of yesterday's shave with the the Brit flare tip being used on the left and the USA one on the right. No picture needed, look at yesterday's.

Exactly the same set up with Signature Britannia - why change a good thing!

Virtually identical shave!

The Brit one has it by a nose! Literally! The only difference being the slightly slimmer profile making the Brit one easier to do under the nose. Super shave from either!

Have a great day folks!

Nice to pull the Speedmaster out of the cupboard. Fresh inoffensive workday scent. Everything else worked well together.
 
Your right about Proraso brilliant stuff. On a recent trip to Italy all the barbers were using Proraso
 
What’s your thoughts on the Hags mate & the Guinness Base ?
