A superb shave and I just love this soap! Strongly scented but slick and smooth with no skin irritation some soaps have when highly scented. Another set will probably be one of my next purchases but I’m waiting to see if the @Boycie83’s emporium drops any in the Black Friday or pre-Christmas sales!

In basic terms a long time overdue return to the R89. I simply forget how great these R89's are and let's be honest, how many of us started with this absolutely classic piece of kit? They may not set the world alight but they do deliver a very acceptable and honest shave. Legendary for all the right reasons.

And the MDC? Exactly what I mentioned on another post earlier today. Do Soaps get any better?

5C00AEAA-E300-44F5-89F2-0FB435AA4D7B.jpegWell nothing fancy but a straight 10/10 nonetheless.
I’m heading back to Norway tomorrow so just wanted something easy.
Nothing really matched & everything just picked at Random.
Iv used Mike’s soaps a couple of times but never used it in stick form.
Iv never been blown away with the scents of these soaps nor have i got the hype however this shave was first class.
The lather was top drawer & so was the performance, very slick & a soap i’ll look forward to using.
The fact i travel a lot using sticks may be a road i’ll go down more often as it saves so much weight in the suitcase.

Anyway Boys & Girls enough of me talking shect
Enjoy your weekend when it arrives
Stay Safe
Mike

Greetings,

Early Morning Shave,

A very comfortable close shave to finish my shaving week off on a high.

last outing of the Treet 7 Day Platinum my reacquaintance with Treet blades has impressed me yet with their longevity and sharpness and has paired together with each razor throughout the week...I will continue with the T7DP for another week after the comfortable efficient performance from them throughout this week.

A very comfortable 2 pass + pick-ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

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

Keep safe and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

Brush: C&H 'Casanova'
Soap: B&M Death
Razor: CB Karve Brass (E)
Blade: GSB (4)
Post: B&M Death

Decent shave this morning, been a while since the Karve made it into the light of day. Forgot how smooth the feel is despite the slightly higher E plate. Overall very good finish, did get a bit of a tingle from the AS but to be fair I pushed the blade further than intended, I'm usually a 3 and done but lost count.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc
