    Everything in my shave set up worked together superbly this morning resulting in a enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups comfortable smooth shave with no errors to report.

    The Super Shave X Platinum pairs together wonderfully with the Parker 55SL.

    The star of the shave this morning was the Omega 11047 'Mixed Midget' Badger/Boar brush which performed superbly building up a slick protective lather in a short space of time...A great shaving brush that I should and will use more in feature shaves.

    A enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

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

  3. Sunday morning:

    Hot shower
    Frank Mini Brush
    Super Speed/Rapira day 7
    Delmy SS
    Aveeno Moisturizer
    Booster Polar Ice AS Splash
    Aramis EdT

    This Delmy soap is the most el cheapo of all the el cheapos - it’s from India and even a homeless man could afford it because it sells literally for pennies but it’s a TERRIFIC soap. The container is very small but the performance is huge - the scent is so old school barbershoppy and beautiful, (right up my alley) the cute little Frank Mini synthetic brush I used it churned it up into thick, rich, cushiony lather. The only gripe I have is if you could call it a gripe is that it’s not too skin friendly but I’ve seen worse from soaps that are much more expensive. The Aveeno moisturizer made up for the lack of skincare, and the Polar Ice aftershave went on with its delightful scent that’s also so old school barbershoppy just like this soap. Two passes were enough to give me a most enjoyable BBS shave!

    Have a good Sunday - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #426 Synthetic
    Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher
    Personna GEM SS PTFE
    CWR
    Lucky Tiger After Shave

    The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #426 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher Razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lucky Tiger After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
