yes, the 34C is a utilitarian beast.. definitely 'a tool, not a jewel'.. but with the right blade, provides an extremely satisfying shave.. lovely jubbly.

Razor........... Gillette FatBoy
Blade............Silver Star
Brush............Shave Revolution Synthetic
Cream...........C.O. Bigelow
Post...............Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe

Right nice shave to start the week with. The FatBoy felt really heavy after using the lightweight Rowen for the past 2 weeks. But all went well. Haven't used COB for quite some time but it works as well as I recall. So my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Bleib gesund

An effortless head/dome shave with the Supply V2 fitted with a fresh Personna Injector PTFE blade. I'm starting to appreciate this razor again after the long period of me not adding it to my razor rotation.

Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of L'0REAL Soothing Birch Sap PSB.

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