Greetings,
A new shave set up to start the weekend...It's been a while since I last added the Parker Premium Platinum blades to my blade rotation....They aren't the sharpest of blades, but are very smooth and forgiving Pairing together with the efficient 89r wonderfully.
A enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Denim Original EdT to the chest & pulse points.
My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling old school divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

SOTD 23-Oct
Brush: C&H 'Longtown'
Soap: P&B Spitfire
Razor: Hawk V3-A
Blade: Feather ProGuard (3)
Post: Cold Water and P&B Spitfire
A journey back in time to one of the soap scents that kicked off this whole rabbit warren saga. Nothing has changed with regards to my opinion of the scent, it is honestly one of my all time favourites.
The only thing that has changed is my opinion of the soap performance, once I considered it to be the ultimate dogs danglies, experience and plenty of experimentation has changed my mind. Don't get me wrong, it's still good but it's not the best (one man's opinion).
Previously I only had the balm, the splash is a recent acquisition. Compared to other splashes I use it is a lot more drying, but it carries a fair whack of scent, if it's long lasting I'm more than willing to deal with that!
Hope everyone has an absolutely cracking weekend!
Cheers
Marc

PreShave: Shower then unscented Cube
Soap: Yaqi Malibu
Brush: Rocky Mountain Best Badger
Razor: R6S / R2
Blade: Feather #3
Post Shave: Alum block - Castle Forbes Parma Violet balm
DE Shave #30
Lovely close shave with no nicks or weepers but face feels a little prickly. I think this is down to the brush as I had this feeling after using it previously. I'll use the same soap with a synth brush for next shave.
Have a great weekend all.
