(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend... It's been while since i use my Parker Variant and forgot how much of a efficiently smooth it is which paired together with the Dorco Prime Platinum wonderfully mowing through my face & head stubble with effortless ease. Out of the four adjustable razors i have the Parker Variant is my favourite.

The Dorco PP blades may not be the most efficient of blades but I find them very forgiving and super smooth and pair up well with all of my DE razors especially the more assertive ones.

I personally find that Platinum coated blades feel smoother & the longevity of them is better over stainless steel blades...That said if had to choose just one type of blade then it would be the good old stainless PTFE/Teflon coated over platinum because they have a good balance of been assertive & smooth even though the longevity on Platinum blades is better I would still choose them...As always blade choice is a very subjective topic.

Another enjoyable close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Boots Cucumber Moisturising Lotion.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

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

The Cella Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #371 Badger/Boar brush. First pass with the Gravjura 5/8 Straight with second pass and touchups with the Yaqi SHaDE razor gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Preshave: Hot shower
Soap/Shave cream: Palmolive Classic
Brush: Ever-Ready rebuild (synthetic)

Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Rapira day 6
MSC Peppermint Latte SS
Prep ASB
MSC Peppermint Latte AS Splash

Oh how nice it was to smell that lovely coffee/peppermint scent of the Peppermint Latte soap and to feel the icy cold lather that was so rich, thick, slick and protective not to mention how soothing and comfortable the postshave feeling was. The Prep moisturized, cooled, and soothed my skin beautifully while the Peppermint Latte aftershave went on frigidly along with its gorgeous scent that lasts almost all day. Three passes gave me an incredible BBS shave that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Enjoy the weekend - be well and stay safe!
