Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave) (Clone razor week)

First outing of the "Indian made Trac-II clone" Gallant II platinum cartridge razor of which it's overall performance is was significantly better to the Treet Swift II Platinum providing an acceptable smooth near BBS head shave. If I had to choose which i prefer then it would be the Gallant II platinum purely because the closeness that it gives is significantly better than the Treet Swift II Platinum. That being said, both razors are equal in smoothness & comfortable.

I will continue to add the Gallant II Platinum for my head shaves throughout the month duration of the month, and beyond purely to use the cartridge heads.

I have carried on for with my revisiting blade focus using the Super Shave X Platinum blade which are manufactured in china made of Swedish steel and paired together admirably with the Baili BD177 wonderfully.

The Baili BD177 (super-speed clone) is an incredibly good razor, out of all my super-speed clone razors this is my favourite each and every shave that I've had with it has been consistent comfortable, and close. Today yet again, was no exception.

the Vitos Vegetal another wonderfully 'Full On' vibrant sweet almond scented shaving soap to start my first weekend 0f 2024 off in style. If you like almond scented shaving products this shaving soap will blow you always with it's fragrance performance and post shave feel...Superb stuff!

An acceptable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

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

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

My Shave today consisted of...

Brush Highlander LE2023 Badger.
Soap Sterling Haverford.
Razors Occam's O.R.E.N dot ... & Gillette Raz=r
Blade Feather Pro Super.
Aftershave Sterling Haverford.

Today I changed the plate in the O.R.E.N to the 3 dot plate and I think it might be the one I stick with but the next few days will tell.
I really enjoyed the shave today as the O.R.E.N pretty much sang to me the whole time with it's wonderful feedback and no cuts yet, so big plus.
As usual I look simply stunning and now of out to work and break a few ladies hearts when they realise I am already taken.
Enjoy the day ahead everyone .

A really smooth two pass shave with an impressively close finish this morning. I loved the whole process from start to finish. Signature Soaps and Bart’s Balms impress me every time I use them.

PreShave: Hot water—from the tap
Cream: GFT Eucris
Brush: A synthetic brush supplied with the below
Bowl: A pewter mug given to me by my wife
Razor: Merkur 23C
Blade: Gillette Goal (1)
Post Shave: Alum

I bought a few tucks of the Goals during a recent trip to Indonesia. They are made in China for the Indonesian market; and are very rough. As a result the morning’s shave was not at all pleasant. Time to use another blade.

AS - Boots Freshwood

This particular brush right now is my favourite. Now that it's fully broken in it's quite efficient for not eating much lather. Most of my brushes are around the 22-24mm, but there's something very pleasing about the Wild Hog's 26mm knot with a 57mm loft, it's not too floppy.
I'm a little late to the show for how good the Boots Freshwood splash is. I know there are a few fans of it here.

Anyway gents, have a good weekend.
