Greetings,
A new near turkish themed shave set up to start the weekend..
The derby premium i find pair together with my more aggressive razors. I now know after the first few seconds into my shave if a blade is suited to my skin type or not, the derby premium i find very smooth with no tugging issues with a smooth efficient edge, which is completely different to it's sibling the derby Extra...However i've mentioned before thinking back now it was my 100% no respect for the razor, lack of technique & shaving confidence that resulted in the nasty bite i encountered from the derby extra blade when i first started out..I still have a few in my vast assortment of DE blades, which i'll add to my blade rotation in future shaves to see what result i'll get.
A very enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups bbs silky smooth shave with no errors to report.
Finishing to the shave off with a generous Splash of the newly acquired Osmanli turkish lemon cologne.
My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.
Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.
