Greetings,

A smooth efficient shave to finish my shaving week off wonderfully.

The Palmolive classic shave cream is such a wonderful performer which creates a rich protective lather with only a small amount giving a great lasting classic fragrance throughout the shave, leaving a good post shave feel.

Recently I've had some superb shaves with this Frankenrazor set up the hefty Schmidt R10 handle makes the razor feel balanced and more comfortable to use.

Another enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
 
SOTD 27-Apr

Brush: C&H 'Finned'
Soap: HAGS Undertow
Razor: CG Level 3
Blade: Wizamet
Post: HAGS Undertow & Molecule 01

Very close shave this morning despite a lapse in attention at one point on the neck. Otherwise a smooth yet loud shave whilst it cleared the path.

Had a sample of this Molecule 01 thrown in on an order for samples of TF Ombre and Vetiver, we'll see how it plays over the next few hours but with my nose i'm not getting much from it. To be fair it might have been better to wait for the splash on the HAGS to die down, we'll see.

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers

Marc

A very satisfying lather & invigorating scent from this croap/splash combo whip up nicely with the excellent boar brush!

Fifth shave with the Treet and it’s still good. I will be changing the razor tomorrow. Another close and comfortable shave with the Wickham soap providing an excellent lather.
 
Thursday 27 April

Staying with the French theme, today it’s Le Coq as in Coq au vin, another hoe but definitely having presence. A weighty Cock indeed mostly the long solid handle but hey it’s not all about size is it ?
I just love the TFS soap, rich creamy and superb scent. Old bristle soon had a nice lather applied to my face and with of course the ubiquitous GEM in place I got to work.
2 passes plus pick ups but extra work need around the edges of my chin. The blade does flex a very small amount with point contact but enough to jump a few bristles. On cheeks and neck the blade has a broader contact with the skin so clears all the stubble no problem.
Dfs result job done.
Have a good day fellas!

 
Love your brush Marc, if you ever want to move it on give me a shout!
