I've seen your green Enders Speed several times, but this one stands out more. Maybe it's the background. Nice shot and gear. Top shelf gear, Gary.
Thank you, Gary. It is a darker green than I would like, but I am happy with it for now. I'd love to get a greenier one in the future.
I think your quote edit carried over Gary's sig. (This is Matt speaking and it was my comment.) Anyway, when you do find one lighter, I highly recommend polishing it with a good UV protecting product to hold that brightness longer. I use Zaino, which is an auto non-wax polymer polish. Probably any polymer-based polish (like NuFinish) will work, but I've been using Zaino with excellent results on my autos for years, so I always have some on hand. I found the Zaino really makes my Enders pop. Of course, nothing can reverse the natural darkening that's already occurred, but I feel like UV light as well as temperature plays a role in why we see such drastic variations. The variants is what makes them interesting, in my opinion.

SOTD : 6th May 2021. Shaving recipe for today. Prep: Warm shower:/Asda Tingly Mint & Tea Tree Shower Gel. Pre: Cold wet flannel to my face. Pears ~ Transparent Bar Soap With Mint Extracts. + Nuage Menthol shaving Oil. Brush: Lider Turkish Boar. Bowl Lather. Bowl: Tesco's Ceramic 'Cosmo' Side Bowl. Lather : Arko ~ Cool Shaving Cream. Blade: Astra Superior Platinum. (D4) Razor: Muhle r89. Post: Cold water face wash with brush squeezings, Cold Water Face Rinse. /Homemade (~Spring/Summer mix~) Lemon, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Essential Oils.+ 3 Menthol Crystals Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel./Arko ~ Cool AS/Cologne + ASB. Greetings, Early morning shave, Last outing of the Astra SP which has performed wonderfully with each shave. The blade still feels as though it could carry on with a few more shaves. Very impressive considering i done my monthly head shave with it which is equivalent to two face shaves...The Muhle r89 has been a delight to re-introduce myself to this week. I have reminded myself why i consider it to be my favourite DE razor. Yet again The 'Arko cool trio' worked together wonderfully making my morning shave a pleasurable experience...I've mentioned before in many of my posts i'm a great fan of both Arko & Derby shaving products. I know that some people cringe at the thought of using them or may have an allergic reaction to these products or dries their skin or don't like the scent 'especially the Shave sticks'...As with any shaving products subjective opinions will always be found especially with shaving soaps and creams, and even more so with DE blades...Each to their choice as the saying goes. Another enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of Arko ~ Cool ASB. My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine. Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

2021-05-06, Thursday Found a forgotten cream! Not bad at all... Too bad it's lavender, so now, I only have seven. It's nice to be retired: I have a lot of time I used to create this pharaonic setting: the lavender flowers are the first ones I used months ago, left in the bathroom. You don't think I'd go in the garden to get more, do you? Sapone PS: Sapone di Marsiglia Sapone: Weleda AG, Weleda crema da barba Pennello: Lab.
