another 'WOW' shave.. the Deus Vult base really is premier league stuff, and the Weber seems to have the Midas touch with blades lately, bringing out the absolute best in the Gillette Platinum, to produce an absolutely stellar shave.

Post:
Cold water face & head wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face & Head Rinse./Alum Rub. / Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel. / Brut Sport Style ASL./Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend....Finishing off my Egyptian & Turkish blade focus with the Lord Silver Star Super Stainless which are my personal favourite from the Lord home.
Out of vast the amount of DE blades i have tried my preference is Super Stainless & Platinum. I really like especially the Lord Silver Star, and various others, especially ones from the subcontinent which don't get the credit they rightly deserve.

It's been a while since I last added the EJ DE89 which has the same head as my much loved Muhle R89, the only difference is the handle on the EJ (Kelvin) is shorter, of which i prefer and the price difference. Both razors perform near the same, the only difference in performance for me is the R89 feels marginally more efficient, but this could be the blade choice.

A close comfortable head/dome shave with the ER 1912.

I repeat myself and say if i had known how wonderful smooth, & efficient SE razors where especially Injector razors when i first ventured into the wonderful world of traditional wet shaving i probably wouldn't have bought a DE razor as they provide and give everything that is required for a close comfortable shave.

Another close comfortable face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

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

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

Omega 10065 Boar - TFS Barber Block - Daune Barber Razor/Treet Platinum -Proraso Green AS

An Italian job today. While searching through a drawer I found the Daune which I had ordered at the same time as my Razorine. They arrived at the same time and this one was promptly stored and forgotten about.Made by the same family that make the Razorine....it has apparently been a staple of Italian Barbers for many years. It took a little time to get used to the weight.....or lack of....but the result was excellent

Saturday morning:

L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Rapira day 5
Delmy SC
Prep ASB
Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

I slept in a bit late because I was feeling a bit tired and under the weather as well as sore from the hip surgery I had almost a week ago so I had to rush this shower and shave because I have a nurse coming over soon to give me an injection to prevent blood clots on my leg. The Delmy cream from India smells really nice, a little goes a long way, it’s pleasantly mentholated, and it’s very skin friendly. Needless to say the Prep and the Alt Innsbruck were a perfect finish. Smooth as silk once again - a great shave!

Enjoy your weekend - be well and stay safe!

The Old Spice Original Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #437 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Wade & Butcher 5/8 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Pinaud Classic Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
