    Greetings,

    I have a great fondness for all my parker razors, but the Variant is my favourite for the simple reason it's gave me consistantly irritation-free silky smooth shaves with every shave i've had with it.

    A superb solid performing adjustable DE razor.

    Last shave of the week with the Mers SuperShave X Platinum which has performed admirably with each shave throughout the week with no dulling problems.

    Another very smooth efficient DE blade that i will adding to my blade rotation in future shaves.

    A pleasurable 3 pass + pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report.

    Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

    My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    Thursday's Shave
    [​IMG]

    Cold Water Rinse
    ARKO Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #1 silvertip
    Micromatic BT
    Personna GEM SS PTFE
    CWR
    Aqua Velva Musk

    The ARKO Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #1 silvertip brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Micromatic BT razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Here is the video.
