Greetings,

A very enjoyable comfortable shave to finish my shaving week off in style the Parker 94R/Dorco PP is an excellent duo.

The Ach Brito Mogno soap is a wonderful performer it gets top marks for it's performance scent, protection, slickness & post shave.

My reacquaintance with the classic Davidoff Cool Water ASL has been a joy to use. It has to be one of my all time favourite fragrance which I've like since the 90's when i was first purchased some..IMHO it's the best Davidoff fragrance.

It's my birthday 60th birthday in June...As a present to myself I will be placing an order for some Goodfellas Smile Abysso shaving soap & matching ASL splash which suppose to be very Reminiscent of the Davidoff Cool Water fragrance. I look forward to trying the duo out.

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

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine. ;)

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

Post: NO Joker

Cracking shave this morning, @gile you'd mentioned you were worried it might have too much backbone, it really doesn't. Comparing against the Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic Bristle, this is not that. The Simpson can almost be stabby, this one splays a lot easier and has a much softer feel but still had plenty of backbone for my taste. It holds a ton of lather and releases easily, thank you again.

So happy days, excellent shave and my new travel brush sorted which as a bonus will also see use at home, ideal!

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc

Really sad day as Tina Turner has passed away, Simply the Best, RIP Tina.

Dragged out my unused Merkur slant today with an Astra blade. This combo performed admirably but the highlight was the Omega 48 bristle. It looks quite stiff and harsh but it is actually the opposite and and gives a superb lather. Nuff said.
