Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the bank holiday weekend.. I have mentioned in many of my the postings the Muhle r89 is a superb all round razor....It was one of the first DE razors along with the Merkur 34c that i instantly bonded with when i first started DE shaving and have always had wonderful irritation-free shaves each time i have used it, today yet again was no exception.

A pleasurable 2 pass + pickups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd America Night EdT to the pulse points.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine. ;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the bank holiday weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Very nice lather from this soap. Beautiful scent, creamy and slick too...
Very nice shave with this razor. So comfortable in hand and has a keen smooth edge. An enjoyable 3+1passes for an improving result from the usual sas to dfs...great!! The matching aftershave was good too but somehow not strong nor lasting enough...

Prep: Warm shower
Brush: Lemon Drop 26mm TGN Boar
Soap: Tabac
Razor: Brit Ever Ready 1912
Blade: GEM PTFE (1)
Post: Cold Water, Alum Block and Tabac

I have to thank @Tony'schin for this epic shave, very generous gift of the ever ready. Last time I used one of these was when I had the newbie box and I've been meaning to get my grubby mitts on one since then. I loved it then and I love it now. These things honestly give some of the closest shaves I've ever had and this one was no different, absolute face stroker.

I like to pass an alum over the face if it's a new razor or it's been a long time since use, just to be sure, and I will admit the test did suggest I didn't quite get the optimum angle at each point, but practice makes prefect!

Thank you again Tony, very much appreciated!

Hope everyone has a grand sunny Bank Holiday!

Cheers

Marc

Prep: Shower with Boots exfoliating face wash.

Pre: PAA unscented cube.

Soap: Stubble Buster Grunge.

Brush: Shave Brush 24 Mm Oumobrush Silvertip In a Handmade Bog Oak Handle

Razor: Hone 15

Blade: Vintage Wilkinson Sword

Post: Alum and Baxter’s aftershave balm.

I only had a light stubble today but still managed a lovely shave with this mild and efficient beautiful razor. I wouldn’t normally have attempted a shave with as little stubble as this but I trust this amazing razor and still managed a 3 pass without any issue. I love the smell and post shave feel of this soap and wish I could find a full sized pot somewhere! It’s not a major player which makes it a harder find. Lathers up lovely and smells a treat like complementing JPG Le Male very well.
I need to work on under my nose with the Hone but believe this is me more than the razor!
