    (Halloween Face & Head Shave.)

    Greetings,

    (German DE razor week.)

    Since i was kid, Halloween night has always been something i've looked forward to it's hard to imagine around the world this evening that parents, grandparents friends neighbours won't be having the usual mass visiting Trick-orTreating presence from Wolverines, Michael Myers, Witches, Werewolfs, Mother-In Laws, Zombies, Vampires, Frankensteins, Mummys & Daddys, Beatlejuices, Batmans, Batwomen, Jokers, Freddy Kruegers,Chuckys,Jason Voorhees knocking on the door queuing up for the boat load of goodies people normally have for them around the world to mark this 'spooky Halloween Trick-or Treating event'.
    It's extremely hard explaining to some children about this Covid-19 pandemic madness. 'Ignorance is bliss for them'. Enough said.

    I've modified the normal Trick-or Treating activities for the evening and will be leaving some spooky goodies near the front door for the usual Halloween suspects to share & enjoy.
    Back to the shave....Another eclectic shave set up to start the weekend....The R41/GWS duo performed with sheer smoothness, mowing through my face & head stubble effortlessly....what a wonderful efficient razor the R41 is now that i have vastly improved my technique & gained my shaving confidence when shaving this assertive semi-open comb Fräulein.

    A very enjoyable face & head shave with no errors to report.Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of L'OREAL ~ Soothing Birch Sap PSB.

    My face and precious swede are feeling super smooth and smelling divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the spooky Halloween weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    Shaving recipe for today.


    Prep: Warm shower / Cussons Imperial Leather ~ Arctic Ocean & Icelandic Moss Shower Gel.

    Pre:

    Cold wet flannel to my face.
    Simple ~ Sensitive Bar Soap + Nuage Menthol shaving Oil.
    Brush: Unbranded Chinese Horsehair.
    Face Lather.
    Soap: Chinese Cologne Soap.
    Blade: Indian Gillette Wilkinson Sword Saloon Pack. (2)
    Razor: Merkur 34c.

    Post:

    Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade peppermint lavender eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Witch Hazel Mixture./ Duru ~ Turkish Mandalina-mandarin Cologne./Aloe Vera Gel.

    A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

    I was curious to try the Indian GWS blade in a less aggressive razor paired together with the Merkur 34c was a comfortable duo, which to be honest i wasn't sure if it would have worked but it did feeling comfortably smooth and efficient with each pass.

    Another very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

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

    Stay safe, and enjoy you Sunday ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    Greetings,

    (Guy Fawkes night shave.)

    Another early start for me this morning.....It's been a long time since i last used the WS shave stick. As always the performance from this shave stick is excellent providing enough slick protective lather for the full shave without having to re-apply it to my face.

    The Merkur 39c slant is such a wonderful solidly built smooth non-aggressive, yet efficient razor and like it's smaller handled sibling each time i have put it in my razor rotation i have had consistently good irritation-free silky smooth shaves with it, today was no exception it paired up with the GWS blade wonderfully making a smooth efficient razor & blade duo...A pleasurable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Nivea Men ~ Sensitive Cooling PSB.

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

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

    PS: Do keep yours pets safe from harm this evening away from horrible callous illegitimates.

    Yours. Barry
