(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend....

Both the 40's Gillette Tech & Kanzy K100 paired up wonderfully with the Dorco Prime Platinum. I will be using both the Kanzy K100 & the Baili BD 191 for my head/dome shave throughout the month the curvature on the top cap & closed head design on both razors have the same head and are wonderful for head shaving giving extra protection of catching my ear lobes from the blade ends when shaving.

Another enjoyable close comfortable face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling cool smooth, & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Saturday 3 June
Just passed the meteorological start of summer here in UK. What this means practically is the days contain a bit of everything from cloud am to blue sky pm and chilly to warm. Frostbite to sunburn. Can’t say we don’t get our money’s worth here.
Any road up, the Swiss, renowned for watches and clocks but also the Blutt BR1, mine set at 0.86 gap. A fine piece of design and manufacturing. The top cap even has a slight overhang to cover the ends of DE blades, that’s real attention to detail and why their watches are fantastic pieces of engineering.
Where was I, oh the shave. Well, my favourite shave cream applied with my re-knotted vintage brush was swiftly removed with BR1 plus Derby 2x.
2 passes plus pick ups and another bbs result.
Now to choose a splash for today, decisions decisions, too many to choose from as @Nutsinatin will surely attest

have a great weekend fellas!

 

Razor's Leaf for my head and my Ball end Tech Razor.
Blade Green 7 o'clock sharp
Brush Highlander brushe Synthetic
Soap The End.
A nice start to Tech June but I wish I had chosen a different Blade, I didn't like it the first time I tried it and thought I would give it another run to see if I have changed my mind but it's just not for me.
The Soap is a fantastic Brute clone, if you like the smell your going to love this.
The brush is amazing.
Have a great day all and enjoy the sunshine woohoo.
