Thanks for the tag,glad to read the palm stropping was of some use to you.. Sometimes it's trial & error, but this one has been a benificial added bonus to your shave.Regards.
Razorock 'Hulk' 34mm Synthetic
Parker 65R
Ladas (3)
Extro Pirata Shaving Cream
Thayers Rose, Nivea Men Cream & Extro Pirata
My third Extro and I must say this without doubt my favourite, what a scent on it. I'm not good at picking out the components but together they are fantastic. a very pleasant, and somewhat familiar fragrance, matched by the splash. It reminds me of La Toja, as I write this it has come to me. A more developed La Toja. A nice tickle of menthol with the splash, didn't realise it contained it which was a pleasant surprise.
First use of my second Hulk, what a beast at 34mm! An absolute lather hog cleaned my bowl out but more than enough lather and easily given up. As recommended by @Palmolive fox I tried palm stropping my blade for the final use and smooth as butter. Best shave from the blade and certainly something I will be experimenting with this week.
After a week using the Parker what a great razor, I was quick to turn my nose up at them but happily to say I was wrong and it has given my consistently good, close trouble free shaves. I'd like to try their open comb model and their 92R, but not a Variant...
Have a nice weekend chaps, hope the weather is better where you are than it is here!
I'm a BiC fan as well. On vacation this year I used a BiC 5 with the roller ball. Honestly, some of the best shaves I had my entire life. No weepers, irritation or ingrown hairs. I was even able to shave with pretty bad sunburn on my face with the same results. Truly amazing.View attachment 29306 ~SOTD~ September 23rd Saturday

A good shave, very good infact, if I had to sell all my razors this is the disposable I would buy.
Have a great weekend.
Give one of these one blade jobbys a go, it will blow you away!I'm a BiC fan as well. On vacation this year I used a BiC 5 with the roller ball.

This is why I love my Focus r48. Provided you seat the half blade correctly, you get a no cut no irritation close shave.Give one of these one blade jobbys a go, it will blow you away!

A great Picture and a stunning set up you have there Pat.
Funny you should mention this Paul, whilst away, because of carry on restriction (understandable) in the states I wasn't able to use my goodies waiting for me at SIL,s so had to buy a disposable and cream. However didn't dare post my sotd as I thought I'd get flamed for even mentioning a disposable.Give one of these one blade jobbys a go, it will blow you away!
