(Face & Head Shave)

Greetings,

A new eclectic shave set up to start the Weekend. Another superb performance from the Ach Brito Mogno Shaving Soap Bar which I use like a shave stick rubbing it directly into my stubble then build up a lather with my wet brush adding more water to the tips of the brush continued building the lather until i get it to the consistency I prefer.

My reacquaintance with both Parker 24C open & Parker InjRzr has been fantastic, both of these razors really work well for me.

Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small Squirts of Denim Original EdT to the pulse points.

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

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

Shaving.. to be enjoyed, not endured.

 

No worries at all. I almost always remove the blade, wipe off the residue under running water with a dedicated toothbrush and hang it up on a magnet to dry. I will sometimes have 2 or 3 blades hanging up on a magnet ready to go, labelled 1, 2 or 3, or sometimes 4 but I don't take blades that far.

btw: I have recruited a microfibre cloth to the bathroom: Good tip!

 

Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Colgate Shaving Mug Soap
Jayaruh #467 Synthetic
Pal Injecto-Matic
Vintage Pal Hollow Ground
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Florida Water

The Colgate Shaving Mug Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #467 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Pal Injecto-Matic injector razor and the Vintage Pal Hollow Ground Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thanks for your post. I like Parker razors. I have the 24C, the Injector and about half a dozen others.

Saturday morning:

Hot shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Goodfella/Wilkinson day 6
Florena SC
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Aramis EdT

This Florena tube was sitting underneath my bathroom sink for so long and I thought I’d give it a spin this morning and guess what - after all this years it still smells and performs great. I love its scent, a small dab on both cheeks gave me tons of wonderful lather, and thanks to the chamomile in it my skin felt so soothed as well as relaxed. The Lubriderm moisturizer gave me plenty of postshave love, finally the beautiful Aramis fragrance and I’m all set for the weekend. Three passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave - a special thanks to my Goodfella/Wilkinson combo!

Happy shaving my friends - see y’all tomorrow!
