Greetings,

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend...Maiden shave with the Nivea Men Sensitive Pro Ultra-Calming Liquid Shaving Cream, which I've had for a while and finally got round to trying it out...The verdict?...This is a thirsty shaving cream which can take a lot of water with no fear of it losing it's density...Using three dollops from the pump it lathered up wonderfully providing me with a slick protective lather for the full shave which didn't dry out on my face in between each pass leaving a good post shave feel. All in all a great non-expensive high street available shave cream which i look forward to using it again in future shaves.

The Chinese Gillette Super Blue are comfortable smooth, & sharp which paired together with the Merkur 37c superbly.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups close shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton lloyd Essentials No.10 EdP to the chest & pulse points.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

 

Fatip Lo Sorto, correct? Very nice.

 

Wonderful shave Paul.

 

Excellent

 

Fabulous. I ice water shave 12 months of the year. Also, I use a brush scuttle to chill the lathered brush even further. An excellent feel and great shave results.

 

Ah, Steso . I remember using it back in ancient times. Good stuff. Well done Danny.
