Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave.)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend.... A second week DE focus with the T7DP which matched up with the efficient parker Variant wonderfully.

It's been a while since i used the Pearlman Shaver's spirit soap is good 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 good post shave feel too.

A very close comfortable face & head shave with errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd Essentials No 1 EdP to the pulse points.

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

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

I love this soap! The aromatic scent is strong & outstanding while the lather is super creamy & slick! The matching aftershave allows me to enjoy it for longer...
This blade...in the razor, wow! Seems to get better with age. On par or a minute edge compared with yesterday's Eddison. 3 silky smooth passes for a bbs finish!!

The EndGem 3D comes with 3 levels of aggression, with increasing blade gap. The three dot is at the highest level. Shave was smooth, with a a lovely toasty sound track.

The last shave at the lodge as we plan to leave early tomorrow, today i was a bit apprehensive using the Feather SR shavette because of previous issues with slipping this week. I never get the handle wet anyway when using either a shavette or straight and today i just made sure i dried my hands before handling the razor.
An easy face lather, again producing plenty of slickness for the shave.
I carefully completed a WTG pass followed by a XTG/ATG mix for the second pass. I finished with some touch up here and there for a BBS finish.
A nice post shave routine although i did get some indication from the splash mainly on the Right-hand Jawline.

I think the remote lodge has helped Ruby as we have not heard anything apart from the rushing water, Ruby started to settle with that after a couple of days, hopefully we will hear no fireworks tonight and that will make it a 100% success, Fingers crossed.

Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
