... which is exactly the same as the regular SuperMax Super Stainless in the green and yellow packaging. The blade has the self-same markings and the shave felt just the same: straight-up, good, honest 8/10 stainless blade shave. My kinda shave!

No golden blade so far.

The normal brilliant lather from the Signature soaps, bowl lathered with the Alpha Ti lather monster setting up todays shave.
I completed a 2 pass shave routine 1st pass WTG then a Mixed pass on the cheeks and ATG on the neck, a little touch up on the Devils whirlpools for a DFS++ finish.
A very nice post shave finishing with the Danum splash, very nice.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All
Thanks, as always

An excellent shave. The tobacco and rose scents blended really well, as did the H&S head and the short Triad handle.

Great shave again with the Parker/Voskhod combo, testing out the Lea menthol shave cream.
I always liked the lea scent and performance but wasn't feeling much of a menthol hit from this stuff at all, still a nice cream though!
The Lea balm is fantastic and for 2 quid from Connaught, it feels even lovelier!

Second shave with this SuperMax Sunrise Super Stainless and ... yes, it's the regular SuperMax Super Stainless in the green/yellow packaging.

I've had Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia stuck at the back of my frag cabinet, so it's been nice to use it. The blade put me in mind of sunshine and what with it being a lovely sunny day today which I spend fettling some landscaping in the garden, the shave was finished off just right with a further splash of sunshine.

Enjoy your weekend, folks!
Wrong week P.

Whiskers are somewhat trapped, and the middle of the razor holds water, why is this a good thing?
