Greetings,
I've mentioned before if i had to have only one DE Razor the Muhle R89 would be a very strong contender up until i added the Parker 55SL Semi-Slant razor to my humble collection which is now on equal par to my beloved Muhle r89.. I will always have a soft spot for the Muhle r89 & Merkur 34c as both razors helped me to develop my technique and gain my shaving confidence, for that reason alone i will never part with either razor.
A relaxing 3 pass + pick ups Close comfortable Sunday morning shave with no errors to report...Finishing the last shave of the month off with a small dollop of Wilko ~ Men's Moisturiser.
My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

I appreciate triple milled soaps and the DR Harris performed as expected with the delightful Windsor scent.
First outing with the EJ 3one6, It is a beautiful well made razor, with nice discreet brand detailing.
Paired with a vintage Wilkinson Sword blade kindly provided by @wooky114
gave a great, close and comfortable irritation free shave.

A great delivery from a shave themed 'Oh no not the 89 again!'
Oh no it's a razor - Muhle R89
Oh no it's a blade - Feather
Oh no it's a brush - Wee whiskey barrel
Oh no it's a soap - ADP Collezione
Oh no I had to shave again
And I had a shave myself all for you and you find other things more important. Oh no.
And the 89 it is once again. A week of DE razors? Never heard of in a long time but a very enjoyable week of shaving activities and more ying and yang in the goodies cabinet.
A change of Blade on this outing and yes I was right. It is one of those razors where the Feather manages to shine through. A supercalifragilisticexpialidocious of a shave. My mum always used to make mention of how modern songs don't make sense. Explain that one away.
Have a great week ahead you TSR folk. Be safe, be well, be vigilant, BEHAVE.
As a Sunday morning treat for @Digimonkey what better to wake up to than Aldious

SR Shave #31
Bengall 11/16ths Round Point
Shavemac DO1 2 Band
Tabac
Proraso Green AS
DRH Milk
YSL Homme Intense EDP
Cracking shave. Even though I don't like the scent, I can't argue with its performance. I have to say that it is probably the best soap I have ever used for straight shaving- super slick whilst still having great cushion. I find with some other soaps to get the right slickness, the amount of water you need to add can make it quite thin and less protective.
Also loving my new Chubby 2 and DO1 - this make lathering triple milled soaps an absolute breeze. They pick up lots of product with their backbone and density!
