    Great looking ride. I am guessing it was the Italian restaurant.

    Shaving Recipe for today.

    Prep: Warm shower:/ Dove Men+Care Clean Comfort Body + Face Wash.
    Pre:
    Cold wet flannel to my face & head.
    Pears Original Transparent Bar Soap.
    Brush: Fine 24mm Synthetic.
    Bowl Lather.
    Bowl : Home Bargains Stainless Steel Side Bowl.
    Lather: Cella Bio Aloe Vera Shaving Cream.
    Lather: MWF.
    Razor: Muhle R89 (Face) - Silver Star Super Stainless. (D1)
    Razor: Parker InjRzr. (Head/Dome) (Settings) 4-wtg. 4-xtg/atg.+pick-ups. - Personna Injector PTFE. (D4)

    Post:
    Cold water face & head wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face & Head Rinse./Alum Rub. /Homemade (~Spring/Summer mix~) Lemon, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Essential Oils.3 Menthol Crystals Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel./ Brut Attraction Totale ASL./Aloe Vera Gel.

    (Face & Head Shave)

    A new shave set up to start the weekend... I have returned to the Silver Star Super Stainless which have became my favourite from the Lord/Sotraco factory. Out of curiosity I'll be using the same blade with each of my shaves to test it's longevity & smoothness.

    Everything in my shave set up this morning worked together wonderfully...The Cella Bio Aloe Vera shaving cream provided me with a protective lather in no time it doesn't have the same slickness as the original tallow version , but it's still a very good shaving cream. I will be placing an order for a bottle of the matching Cella Aloe Vera ASL as a early birthday present to myself.

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

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

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

    Leisurely Saturday shave. My First Day out with a SE, the G-Bar!

    I went really slowly, like the Tortoise versus the Hare, and kept the First Aid kit at the ready!

    15Apr23 1024-90 Post.png

    tortoise 18.png

    Growth: 24 hours.
    Brush: Puro Tasso badger
    Razor: GEM G-Bar
    Blade: GEM blade Day 1
    Face Prep + Pre shave: Usual
    Cream/Soap: Arko, delightful, lathered in bowl as is my preference
    Post Shave: Warm Water Rinse, Cold Water Rinse. Towel dried the face. Lots of Thayers was needed!
    Aftershave: Heavy splash of Brut AS (stinging!) then Tabac AS balm for extra protection!

    Passes:
    Usual 3 passes and touch ups

    Results:
    Nicks: None! Damage: None! I reckon I may have been too careful, as i still needed my usual 3 passes and clean ups.
    Definitely felt like was exfoliating more than with my usual DE razors.

    Oh well, not too bad considering it was my First Day out with a SE.
    It will take a while to “get this” but not too bad for a first time!

    Residual: lower right neck next to Adam’s apple.

    Definitely needed to go slower with the SE atm, and figure out a better way around the top lip/nose and the Adams apple since the blade is wider, Sideburns and cheeks were fine though.

    Overall, pretty chuffed!
