Greetings,

Early morning shave,

Another wonderful performance from the 1950's (US) Ball End Tech to finish my shaving week off wonderfully.

The Proraso Blue shaving cream created a nice creamy slick protective lather with only a small amount in a short space of time The residual slickness is excellent leaving a superb post-shave from the addition of the Aloe Vera and vitamin E making my mature skin feel soft & moisturized after the shave.

what I love about the Gillette tech design is they are such mild smooth efficient shavers especially the earlier models, it would be hard for me to choose a favourite because each one that i own is a joy to shave with...However, I find the 40's & 50's models are slightly more assertive with the right blade choice.

A close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Superdrug Sierran Breeze ASL.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Preshave: Hot shower
Soap/Shave cream: Proraso Green
Brush: Omega 11137 boar
Razor: 1955 Gillette Super Speed Blue Tip
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (2)
Post shave: Clubman Pinaud

 

Thursday morning:

Quick shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 5
Brion Sensitive SC (from Serbia)
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Coach EdP (sample)

To be honest this was not such a great shave because I overslept and I had to rush through it - the reason why is my friend’s car broke down and I had to take him to the garage to get it fixed. The Brion Sensitive is a very cheap Serbian cream with a nice, mild minty scent, it lathers well although it’s not slick enough for me, it seems to have a bit of a menthol sensation, and it’s pretty good skincare wise. The Lubriderm moisturizer is wonderful as a balm. Finally the Coach sample……would I buy this fragrance again? No. It doesn’t seem to suit me although Madame says it’s very nice. I did two fast passes and I got almost but not quite BBS. Ah well, there’s always tomorrow.

Wishing you all a good day - be well and stay safe!

Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger
RazoRock Black Hawk

The B-pure Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the RazoRock Black Hawk Razor and the Feather Professional AC Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Duru Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
