    I know it’s not a club on the razor but I took a gamble it would pair well with Clubman.

    Shaving recipe for today.

    Prep: Warm shower:/Lynx Africa Body Wash.

    Pre:
    Cold wet flannel to my face & head
    Chantry Lavender Goat's Milk Bar Soap.
    Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia 24mm Synthetic.
    Face Lather.
    Lather: OSP Neroli Shaving Soap.
    Blade: Personna PTFE SS. ( D6)
    Razor: Supply V2.

    Post:
    Cold water face & head wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face & Head Rinse./Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel./ 4711 Original Eau DE Cologne-ASL./Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel./Milton Lloyd The Man Cobalt EdT.

    Greetings,

    (Face & Head Shave.)

    SE razor week.

    A new shave set up to start the weekend....Everything in my shave set up this morning worked together excellently...Another wonderful smooth performance from the Supply V2 razor paired together with the Personna PTFE SS on it's 6th outing still felt smooth and efficient cutting through my face & head stubble with effortless ease.

    Another wonderful performance from the Supply Razor.. I find the hefty weight of the razor a great bonus.

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

    The Personna PTFE SS blades are remarkable it still felt as though it had another shave left in it, but i have respectfully put it into retirement. I find it pointless to push a blade to the extreme with the risk of causing unnecessary cuts & irritation just for the sake pushing the blade for another shave.

    Finishing the shave off with a few squirts of Milton Lloyd The Man Cobalt EdT to the chest & pulse points.

    My face & precious swede are feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.;)

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

    Saturday morning:

    Hot shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Shark day 11
    Alluvian Norwegian Spear SS
    CutiBase Moisturizer
    Murray & Lanman Florida Water AS Splash

    To be honest this Norwegian Spear soap from Alluvian is good, but I think it’s too expensive for what you get. The scent is very nice - it’s a blend of spearmint and clove, the lather is easy to work up, it gets thick and rich but it’s not as slick as I like, and it’s not that protective although the skincare is pretty decent. I paid $30 CAD for it but there’s no way I would buy it again. The CutiBase moisturizer is great as a balm, and the Florida Water went on nice and cool - not to mention how much I love the old school scent. Two passes were enough for a good, close, smooth shave.

    Be well and safe!

    Cold Water Rinse
    Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #433
    King Cobra
    Feather Professional
    CWR
    Aqua Velva Iced Blue

    The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #433 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the King Cobra Razor with a Feather Professional Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
