Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave.)

SE razor week.

A new shave set up to start the weekend....Everything in my shave set up this morning worked together excellently...Another wonderful smooth performance from the Supply V2 razor paired together with the Personna PTFE SS on it's 6th outing still felt smooth and efficient cutting through my face & head stubble with effortless ease.

Another wonderful performance from the Supply Razor.. I find the hefty weight of the razor a great bonus.

A enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

The Personna PTFE SS blades are remarkable it still felt as though it had another shave left in it, but i have respectfully put it into retirement. I find it pointless to push a blade to the extreme with the risk of causing unnecessary cuts & irritation just for the sake pushing the blade for another shave.

Finishing the shave off with a few squirts of Milton Lloyd The Man Cobalt EdT to the chest & pulse points.

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

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

The matching aftershave was just super...

A comfortable shave with the Fatboy (4,9) in two passes. A socially acceptable shave, but not as close as the Blackbird yesterday, even with the Fatboy set to maximum for the second pass.
 
Saturday:

As I was reaching for the Perma sharp, 3 saw the opened tuck of Elios blades, which come in a tuck of 10 for similar price to others of 5, so fairly cheap to say the least.

Whilst I would say they aren't the best performers, they're not bad either and provide a reasonably comfortable shave. If memory serves will be better tomorrow.

As for soap and splash, Signature Britannia. My daughter picked out the mint straight away when she dropped my granddaughters off, with "That minty smell is very fresh dad, nice!"
Performance wise, a very nice shave and again, glad I got the matching splash. My face feels smooth and well conditioned.

Great start to the weekend, but now need to interact with my granddaughters before they trash the place!

I cannot believe i thought about moving this little half blade razor on, today a very close comfortable shave from 2 passes, WTG then ATG and a little touch up here and there, this seems to be my go to routine of late.
Everything working in harmony delivering a wonderful finish.
