Sunday 22nd January

Soap • Mer Shaving - Sea Breeze
Brush • Yaqi Rocks 30mm Synthetic
Razor • Univinlions
Blade • Kai Protouch MG (7)
Post • Arctic Kinesia Aftershave



Learning to use this type of razor certainly isn't easy.
I'm not entirely sure I will grow to enjoy it.
I try to keep the angle at around 30 degrees, yet it still isn't always comfortable, and at times tuggy?
I managed a good over all finish with only a couple of small weepers. I would say a little better than my last attempt.
I'll give it another try in a couple of days to see how it goes.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone

I love Endymion and the scent is long lasting too.
Does the shave cream perform well Dave?

I like the cologne scent better than the Concentrate which is different to me. The cream smells like the cologne and performs beautifully with a strong scent.

Thank you Dave
I've often thought of buying the shave cream.
I've never used the Concentrate myself, the Cologne is favourite of my Penhalligons scents.

Hi there,

I have the shaving cream but haven't cracked it yet. I really like the BB and Sartorial creams though. Not easy to find any of those at a decent price here in Yankeetown.

It's not cheap in the UK either Martin
£34 for a 150ml tube is putting me right off !

Whats doin Paul,

Hehe, I won't tease you with pics but I do have a few Pens creams and soaps and the Sartorial soap is pretty darn good as is the EdT. I'm having a hard time opening up another one though because it's extinct.

Brilliant 3 pass day off shave proving that we don’t always need expensive products.
The soap for me is first class although i don’t use it nearly enough,
i really should start using my sticks up i have so many,
The King C is a very good razor for the money
£20 although i’m sure you can get them for a tenner second hand
Enjoy Your Sunday boys & girls

I have one of these but am keeping in sealed in its box in case it ever becomes a desirable classic one day.
I didn't buy a second one to shave with so often wondered what it's like.
