Greetings,
(Christmas Eve Shave)
Out of all my adjustable razors the Ming shi 2000s,is by far the most assertive/aggressive, it has a reputation of a very Love/Hate opinion razor within the wet shaving community...I was passed on mine from a friend, i also have a spare one too, both of them have good blade enlignment, it is however a very aggressive razor, even on it's lowest setting it's still a very efficient razor you must be it's master instantly when shaving .It also doesn't allow bad technique, or lack of concentration,and most importantly the lightest of touch and much respect is vital if not, it'll bite you for sure.
These are just my personal views,so don't be put off by my comments. I personally like the ming shi 2000s, but that's me,and everyone isn't the same as me..IMHO 99% of good shaving results is down to practising & learning your technique, good preparation a sharp blade that is suited to your skin type & gaining shaving confidence, and not to expect a sublime BBS shave everytime we shave...Enough said.
A wonderfully smooth 3 pass + pick ups near BBS christmas eve shave with no errors to report.
Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your christmas eve, ladies & gentlemen.
PS: To all members of TSR, have a wonderful safe & peaceful christmas day tomorrow whatever you may be doing.
PSS: Be careful tomorrow when walking up & down the stairs in those dangerous christmas gift slippers!!!.
