Greetings,

Early morning shave.

Another close comfortable shave to finish my shaving week off wonderfully...The SNMIRN Adjustable has performed superbly throughout the week with no issues.

It's been a while since i last used The G F. Trumper Violet shaving cream and forgot how much i really like it's unique scent only a small amount is needed to create a excellent lather for the full shave leaving a superb post shave feel.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your detailed shaving routine - it's always interesting to see how fellow shavers go about their rituals. The prep, the choices of soap, brush, razor, and post-shave care... it all comes together like a well-crafted symphony. Your approach to creating a "Frankenrazor" sounds pretty cool, and the Yaqi DOC Mellon Head with the Rapira Platinum Lux blade seems like a winning combo. It's true that appearances can be deceiving when it comes to razors - glad to hear you found a comfortable and smooth experience with it. Looking forward to hearing more about your experiences with those Chinese clone razors and your journey with various blades. Enjoy your smooth and fragrant day!

 

Thank you Tahir.

 

Hi Paul, cool, I find it lathers well, provides and hint of a mild scent although I can't place it, and gives good post shave protection

Thanks Joe!

Thanks John, my thoughts exactly, next time I do this I will let you know, most likely I will use the Slim again, but will decide on the day

Great setup and shave again Joe, Nice to see you also Adusting on the Fly as it were
Have a great day!

Thanks Chris.

 

Yes!

 

Indeed

 

Boy, that Bill Neumann saved me from the upsetting shave the day before. The only glitch was some redness down at Cactus(S.W. side). Didn't hurt. Elsewhere everything looks great. . The BN soap is finally beginning to look like it's been used a few times(the dent down the middle is showing). 2 passes. The aftershave felt great-it is doing its skin-food magic. Finished with Halston cologne. As Outstandimg As It Gets.
