Quick Saturday shave;

 

Today is a very serious picture: do you really think we may believe you're serious person?

 

2020-07-18, Saturday

A beautiful morning!
I woke up at 3:00 a.m. and, since I was awake, at the right time, I decided to do a blitzkauf at the supermarket, before the crowd invaded it.

Halfway through, I had an epiphany and searched my pockets: I had forgotten cash, cards, even my driver's license.
I promptly made an elegant U-turn and headed home again. I'm so clever!

And, after breakfast, I could see on TV How it's Made a pewter scuttle: now I feel a better person!
Not only that!
I've also seen how the Merkur Vision is built.
I never liked the way it looked and the rest of it: in my hands it had poor maneuverability and performance.
And frankly, I don't think it's the most representative of adjustable razors...
But, perhaps, it was one of the few, if not the only one, in production at the time of the shoot.
I don't suspect at all that it was surreptitious propaganda just because the logo Merkur logo was clearly visible...

I had pampered myself with a mild, deep shave, two passes and some touch-ups, with a highly efficient and fragrant gear.





Sapone PS: Valobra Glicerolanolina
Sapone: Scheermonnik, 1778 Beau Brummel
Pennello: Lab. Villefranche, The Fridge, Tigrano/Finest 24
Rasoio: Merkur, Progress 500
Lametta: Gillette, 7 O’Clock, Super Stainless
AS 1: MilMil, Figaro Gel
AS 2: Abbazia di Casamari, Balsamo
EdT: Ach. Brito, Lavanda
ST: The wind...

As good as it can get. Awesome shave this morning with the Russian prototype. The 1.30 gap does kick up the blade feel a bit but, not in an intimidating way. Still exhibits very good smoothness during WTG, XTG and ATG passes. Solid performer through and through. A great day and shaves to all...

Saturday Straights' Shave

Proraso Red
Jayaruh #224 synthetic
Weck Sextoblade
Personna
CWR
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS

The Proraso Red Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #224 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Weck Sextoblade with a Personna blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Dark glass bottle so no need to decant into another container.
The cap is no bigger than a dime and there’s a plastic restrictor to control flow.
The restrictor is removable if you want to pour.

 

Oh OK...this is making sense. A reviewer said while he loved the aftershave itself, the one he received didn't have a restrictor..so he was sent one for free. Thanks.

fine shave and pic Sergio..
