Greetings,

(Face & Head shave.)

A new shave set up to start the weekend... A double maiden shave using the Pearlman shavers spirit shaving Soap and the chinese Gillette Super Blue blade both I've had for while, but have only got round to trying them out..

The verdicts? The Pearlman Shaver's spirit soap is a excellent shaving soap... It's very slick, protective with a fresh mild masculine fragrance which lingers throughout the shave and beyond creating a wonderful lather in a short space of time leaving a excellent post shave feel.

The Chinese Gillette Super Blue paired together with the Pearl SBF-11 razor superbly making a smooth non-aggressive efficient razor & blade duo...The blade feels comfortable sharp & smooth....The sinister looking image on the pack cover looks like "Bela Lugosi" with a mustasch I was expecting the blade cover to have "Made in Transylvania" printed on it with an attention warning stating "Do not expose to daylight, for night shaving only."

However, "never judge a book by it's cover" as the saying goes these blades are very assertive and a great choice for head shaving which is my method of testing a new blade for efficiency and equally important it's smoothness.

I'm only one shave in so I can't give a true review but i feel as though these blades have a good longevity & smoothness.

A enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of Cien Sensitive ASB.

My face and precious swede are feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.;)

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

Just awesome the scent from this soap! Really aromatic with a creamy and slick lather. The brush is amazingly soft...perfect for face lathering...
The shave with these 2 vintage combinations of razor & blade was very very good. Can feel the edge was crisp but soft & smooth so it was very comfortable 3passes for a dolphin smooth finish. Excellent blade indeed! The aftershaves were excellent too especially with the matching AS balm!

Prep: Warm shower and PAA Cube
Brush: C&H Fanchurian V11
Soap: OSP Business Time
Razor: Koraat 6/8
Post: Cold Water and OSP Business Time

Grand shave this morning, a little rushed but still thoroughly enjoyable.

Loading up the C&H with the fantastic OSP and straight to the face. Whipped up an effective lather in no time and went to work. The koraat mowing down everything in its path with minimal effort, it just glides over the skin giving the false impression it's not taking anything with it. Top it off with the matching Tonic and I'm feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead.

Hope everyone has a cracking day today!

Cheers

Marc
