Greetings,

Early Morning Shave,

An excellent shave to finish my shaving week off wonderfully.

All of my Parker razors have been a pleasure to shave with throughout the week and have paired together with the Feather Hi Stainless superbly.

My second week focus with the Feather Hi Stainless has been wonderful....They are an outstandingly smooth efficient blade which when treated with respect, using good technique will reward you with sublime shaves.

An enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report....Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.;)

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Razor: Rockwell 6s #3
Blade: Gillette Permasharp, 1st use
Brush: Simpsons Chubby 3 Sovereign Grade
Bowl: Lickimat Wobble Green Bowl
Preshave: Proraso Refreshing Pre Shave Cream
Soap: Surprise Sample Croap
Aftershave: Fine Italian Citrus

Additional Care: Shave Tunes Fortunate Son By Creedence Clearwater Revival

Sample soap week continues with Signature Soaps Eboracum. Still the same excellent performance but out of the 5 Signature Soaps I have the smell of this one doesn't reach the heights of the rest. That's just my personal view though and I'm sure others will love it. Still an excellent soap though.

Zenith 507U XS Horse - Wilkinson Sword Stick - Ever Ready (Bathroom Set)/GEM SS #5 - Brutal Classic AS

I believe this version of the 1912 Pattern is the only one designed round the 'new' thinner GEM blade which was introduced around 1950.....correct me if I am wrong!
An excellent shave in 3 passes :)

SOTD 25-Aug
20220825_083443.jpg
Brush: PAA Switchback Oumo Silk HMW
Soap: Fine Platinum
Razor: ER Streamline
Blade: GEM PTFE (2)
Post: Fine Platinum Balm & TEV 199

Good shave again this morning, decent 3 pass for a smooth irritation free finish. Not so keen on this oumo fan, it build a quick lather and store more than enough to shave 3 times over but the backbone is lacking. Unfortunately there isn't much room to set it lower unless I add another O ring between the handle and the ferule, ah well we'll see.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc
 
Thursday
Razor and blade may get another user tomorrow, no hint of a tug.
A bit since I used Latigo. Makes me feel nostalgic for some reason, maybe my grandad used to use some leather noted aftershave, who knows?

Anyhow got to get my nose back to the grindstone and get some work done!

Good day gentle folk

Bit of a dull morning here, and a warm water shave seemed appropriate. The Plisson generated a superb lather with the Hibernia soap, and the Kai blade worked very well in the Karve. Good stuff.
