Greetings,
Another early morning shave.
Last outing of the gillette wilkinson sword blade, which paired togther with my muhle r41 superbly, mowing through my stubble effortlessly with the lightest of touch & no pressure...The Indian made w.s. saloon pack blades have excelled my shaves this week with it's sharp efficiency.I have a ten pack of Gillette Winner blades, which i've still yet to try, i'll be adding them to my blade rotation in my future shaves.
The OSP neroli soap i bought blind, going off the other soaps i've tried and the wonderful grapefruit & menthol cream performance, i'm so glad i did, equally superb to the others it provided me with a super protective lather throughout the shave leaving a excellent post shave feeling to my face.
The fragrance i describe, to my nose..which isn't the best, for describing a scent, is citrus, Bitter orange ,fresh floral,ideal for all the seasons of the year. I've mentioned before in my postings the scent of a shaving soap or cream isn't a great issue for me, the slickness glide, protection & post shave feel are,the OSP soaps and creams i've shaved have all performed with brilliance.. Besides, once i've done my final cold water face rinse i find most of the lingering fragrance from the shaving soap or cream has virtually gone. However, with the OSP Neroli it still has a lingering presence for sometime after.Superb shaving soap.
A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups bbs smooth shave with no errors to report.
Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Creightons ~ Sensitive Post Shave Balm.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.
