Greetings,
A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...Yesterday i had a good sort out in my humble shaving and realised i have quite few Birthday & Christmas presents ASL's & EdT's that i have infrequently used since receiving them from family & friends so i intend to start adding them to my shave set ups more often to get use from them.
Carrying on with the Chinese made DE blade run.. It's been a while since i last used my the Baili BD191. The long hefty teardrop handle makes the razor 'Bottom heavy' which for personal preferences is a bonus as the weight of the razor does all the work with no for added pressure needed when shaving, especially for head shaving I also like the "closed head design" which reduces the risk of catching my ear lobes or under my nose from the blade ends when shaving... All in all a good razor, apart from the slippery teardrop handle which i rub with my alum block to give it extra adhesion.
Maiden shave with the Baili Platinum plus blade first of the five that came free with the BD191 razor i have had the blades for a considerable amount of time so i thought it was time to put the blades to the test..The verdict? ..An acceptable comfortable non-aggressive yet efficient blade which paired together with the BD191 wonderfully....The shaving performance reminds me of the Voskhod. I'm not sure of it's longevity as Voskhod come to life after the first outing, but if i can get another comfortable shave from the Baili Platinum + tomorrow, then i'll be content.
A enjoyable close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups comfortable shave with no errors to report...My new 2 pass +pick ups shaving method is giving me good shaving results, not quite as close as it was with the Parker variant in my previous weeks shaves but still smooth & acceptable, nevertheless.
Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd The Man Silver EdT to the pulse points.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.
Stay safe, stay cool and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
