After a beautiful, close shave yesterday with the Mongoose SS-B3 I decided to give the Parker SRX a run out, using the recently acquired Perma Sharp half blades instead of snapping a DE. I basically bought this as a technique improver for my DX & the blades to try in the Rocnel.
A great Face lather from the GFCC with my chin suitably covered i started the shave as i would the Feather AC DX, this is a smaller razor and much easier to handle, i was pretty confident with it, i completed a mixed pass WTG/XTG & ATG without any issues. after the rinse i had a pretty good finish. i decided not to push my luck and completed a search and destroy buffing pass with the Occams V1 on #1 plate, the blade was about done any way.
If you are thinking of moving to a shavette i can recomend the SRX, A stainless steel shavette, pretty good quality for under £20. @CjH & @jaro1069
Nothing from the block and a nice pre shave routine, the OSP giving a nice cooling face feel.
A very nice shave and a nice surprise. DFS, soft and supple face and smelling pretty good for a Friday PM
Have a great night All.
