    Greetings,

    (Indian Subcontinent DE Blade month.)

    A new shave set up to start the weekend...After a month of using Egyptian made blades, this month i shall carry on using various Indian subcontinent made blades....Starting off with a maiden shave using the Gillette Winner Stainless...The verdict?...pairing it together with my Parker 55SL Semi-Slant razor made a smooth efficient combo eliminating my stubble with effortless ease....As it's my first shave with the Winner Stainless i have no complaints to report...Regardless to the blades manufacturing location in the Indian subcontinent, the Winner stainless is a smooth efficient blade... To compare them with the Winner Platinum i find the 'Stainless more assertive & smoother...However, this could also be down to my razor choice...

    A enjoyable 3 pass +pick ups close comfortable maiden shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off a with a generous splash of Pashana ASL.

    My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the long Easter weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    Today I was feeling in the mood to try the Martin de Candre I got as a gift.
    The scent is very good, although I don't know if I would buy such a large bowl of that fragrance: should they were 70 gr. bowls, max 90, though, I would!
    I was impressed with the performance and smoothness.

    I confirm the mildness of the Feather on a mild razor and the Progress @1 is definitely such.
    It turned out, once more, that the blade was soft on one side and raspy on the other.
    Overall a very satisfying shave!

    Very satisfying shave from the house of Razorock/Italian Barber. The Feather on its 2nd shave with the Lupo was simply brilliant. Super efficient feeling & comfortable that was done in 2 passes and a minor chin buff. The Feather & Lupo .95 were meant to be. A wonderful day and shaves to all....

    Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 13
    Master Soap Creations Cherry Freeze SS
    Prep ASB
    Osage Rub AS Splash

    This is the glycerine version of Cherry Freeze which I received earlier this week - I also have the tallow one. This soap has a strong, but very nice cherry scent, it works up to great lather that’s really slick, the menthol sensation is bloody powerful - in fact it’s almost as powerful as the Kameelperd’s Kick or the Stirling Glacials, and the skincare is pretty good. The Prep and the Osage Rub aftershave left me well soothed and shivering. Another beautiful BBS shave!

    Be well and safe!

    The Barbasol Shave Cream lathered well with The Bunny B-400 by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the Gravjura 5/8 straight razor gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
