A truly delightful shave today. I'm not sure why the Indian GWS's seem to go under the radar, they are very smooth and in the right razor produce a delightfully smooth, efficient and comfortable shave as I enjoyed in today's shave.

Greetings,


Another early morning shave.


The valet auto strop VC1 is such pleasure to shave with from it's maiden shave i found my 'sweet spot' after a few seconds and was instantly in charge and at ease with this vintage lady...However, i've mentioned before like any other razor i shave with either vintage,modern aggressive or non-aggressive is worthy of no pressure and much respect considering it's blade gap,if not this vintage lady will bite me.

A very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Boots ~ Freshwood Aftershave Balm.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.;)

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
