My Shave today consisted of...

Prep Hot shower with Signature soaps shower scrub.
Brush Highlander LE2023 Boar.
Soap GFCC original.
Razor Muhle R41 2011 the Shark.
Blade Super Shave X 5th shave.

Had a cracking shave with the Shark today, an easy 1 pass shave with a couple of touch ups.
The blade finally gave up the ghost but it did perform well the last 4 shaves.
Have an amazing day ahead everyone.

Good things can come in small packages, and cheap doesn’t always mean poor quality. That’s the late, lamented Palmolive stick good and once upon a time, cheap. 99p for two cheap. The little floppy Mühle brush created a wonderful lather and the R89 did the rest. A close and very comfortable shave in two passes.

IMG_0584.jpegAnother shave Another Hit & Miss.
As i bought this razor a few months ago i decided to give it a go even after the not so nice feedback.
we were all told the handle was ok but the head was shite to coin a phrase lol.
Anyway i’m a self harmer so thought let’s give it a go.
I went with the wonderful Goats Milk base from Signature another wonderful soap,
and it was the saving grace from what could have been a dreadful shave if i allowed it.
i use the razor with delicate ease.
Hardly touching it at all,
i couldn’t be any lighter if i tried.
I won’t be using this head again however the shave actually wasn’t that bad,
i did enjoy it probably because of the soap but still with the lightest of strokes the shave turned out ok.
The soap as i say is tremendous and paired paired with the Myrsol & Baxter’s it was a lovely warming feel.
Just the right amount of Peppermint in the soap & just the right amount of menthol in the balm made it.
Until tomorrow lads stay safe from these dreadful storms

Funnily enough I tried this head again (both sides, the open and closed combs) and had the same opinion.
It was worth getting it for the handle though.

I used to have a bottle of Myrsol Blue and really liked it. Difficult to find now though. Reminds me of Floid Blue
