Birthday face & head shave.
Greetings,
The Goodfellas' Smile Abysso Shaving Soap & ASL duo which provided me with an exceptional shave the lathering performance of the Abysso shaving soap is superb providing a great slick protective wonderfully scented lather in a short space of time. The matching ASL finishes the shave off excellently.
It's been a while since I last used my parker 87R, I find the parker TTO models slightly less efficient than the 3 piece models, that's not to say the TTO models are non-aggressive shrinking violets, because they're not!.... I find them solidly built & great value for money razors.
Out of all the remaining TTO parkers in my collection which are the 87R,22R, & 92R the 87R is my favourite, I really like the short handle, it has a good hefty weight," like all my parkers" good efficiency, and removes face and head stubble with effortless ease once you adjust to shaving with a steeper angle to get the best from them.
The Parker 87R/Gillette Winner platinum was a great smooth efficient duo...I've mentioned in many of my postings that shaving products produced in the subcontinents don't get the credit they rightly.
The mild efficient Gillette Guard performed wonderfully mowing through my head/dome stubble with ease...shaving.
What i like about the Gillette guard is the pivot handle design glides the cartridge head over the contours of my head, the wide open comb gap on the cartridge head doesn't clog up and the overall result it provides is comfortably & smooth with no irritation or cuts. However, because it is light you don't need to add excessive weight like you can with other cartridge razors if you do, It'll bite, especially shaving the sides of your head. If only the handle had more weight, it would vastly improve it's overall performance.
A close comfortable birthday face & head shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Goodfellas Smile Abysso ASL.
My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
