    It's funny to hear someone else refer to their "covid hair" too. I also have about 15 months of growth & have received a lot of positive comments from the ladies about my long hair, so I'm keeping uncut for a bit longer. It's also kind of fun embracing my inner Hippie. ;)

    Blade: Gillette Wilkinson
    Brush: jayaruh synthetic
    Soap: williams mug soap
    Post: medicated witch hazel
    A/S: pinaud lime sec


    This mornings shave was interesting. The razor is crazy mild. I went after the williams on a different way and had a slightly better experience. The lather was extremely slick, like crazy slick and the lather lasted a little longer but it still vanished leaving behind slickness like no other. In the end the razor needed some help but i ended wjth a bbs

    My second Covid vaccination today gave cause to celebrate. What better way than to give my new Raptor 3D razor a maiden run out. Another of Roger Quintero's inspired GEM SE designs. This one, a 'Henckels Rapide' inspired blade clamping system, was printed by my son.

    The shave was outstanding with the Stirling soap. The Raptor feels great in the hand, and with a new GEM blade, was extremely efficient at whisking my usual 2 day growth. It channels the lather away brilliantly and rinses very easily. Very impressed and looking forward to the next shave.

    When I woke up it was gray, but it was going to be a sunny day. In fact, after not having consumed an orange juice and a coffee (I need a valet, a waiter.... But those want to be paid, the venal ones!), by the time I reached the bathroom, the sun was flooding the room.
    And I was inspired by the scent of roses.

    This industrial cream smells good and I hadn't used it since last summer!
    And the balm and EdT smell good too!

    I feel like an April rose!

    Hi Friends,

    here is my Sunday Shave, 25.04.2021

    4EAE8F0B-7A04-4F8F-8AB7-21B78E030C51.jpeg
    Razor: EJ DE89 // Blade: Rotbart // Soap: Pannacrema Lavandotto // Brush: Nightdiver’s Honeystick // Aftershave: Ach.Brito Lavanda // Music: Estas Tonne - Black and White World remastered

    Wow, sometimes you are really stunned because you experienced something you didn't know before. Like today...wanted to test how the razor runs with the blade. I am "slightly" thrilled. Extremely smooth with very high sharpness and just as thorough. For me, this seems to be a combination that is made for each other. In addition, the fantastically fragrant Pannacrema Lavandotto. Lather was whipped up quickly and with perfect consistency. The scent caressed my nose, so that the shave was also an olfactory delight. Of course, the aftershave contributed to this as well. An extremely good fragrance, Mediterranean, relaxing and good mood making. An insanely great 3-speed shave.

    Now it's about to go with the dog from mother in law on dog walk.

    Have a great day, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

    Greetings
    Thorsten
