Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend....Carrying on for another week using the Gillette Shave Foam...in my previous weeks shaves I used the the Gillette Original Scent Shave Foam (Red) this week I've used the sensitive (Green) which I didn't notice any real difference in the same shaving performance as the (red). The only slight difference is the scent of the (green) can which to my nose has a light musky/sandalwood fragrance. What was important was the foam mixed up into an acceptable slick protective lather. The foam comes to life with the addition of the added water and bowl lathering.

It's been a while since I've last used the parker 24C which is very smooth & comfortable to use I like the long hefty grippy handle... The only differences between the 24C are is the FG is slightly more efficient than the 24C and found you have to apply a steeper shaving angle with the 24C like all my parker DE razors.

An enjoyable comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Boots Freshwood ASB.

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

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

After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Saturday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Wilkinson Sword/Astra Green day 6
Captain Nemo Shepherd SS
Aveeno Moisturizer
English Leather Classic AS Splash

The Yaqi Barber Pole synthetic whipped up awesome lather with the Shepherd soap from Captain Nemo. This soap is vegan based like all of Abir’s soaps, (the use of tallow is prohibited in India) the scent is so nice, the lather is not only thick as well as rich and protective, it’s so slick, not to mention how gentle it is on sensitive skin like mine. The Aveeno moisturizer is unscented so it works great as a balm, and the English Leather aftershave smells so beautifully old school. This Wilkinson Sword razor is fantastic - it’s a bit more aggressive than my other DEs but it’s still very safe for me to use. Three passes did me proud with a super duper BBS shave that was fit for a king!

Enjoy the weekend - be well and stay safe!

I believe so, though I have never tried a Crown King product.

 

The big W&B was the right blade for the job today. Lots of stubble removal made all the more enjoyable with the cold Absolute Zero on my face followed by a final cold splash of water at the end
