Greetings,

A very eclectic shave set up to start the weekend.

The Cella extra extra Bio shaving cream provided a wonderful lather this vegan version is equally as good to it's tallow sibling and like the tallow version it's slick protective and doesn't dry out and leaving my mature rhino skin type feeling hydrated and smooth. The mild-light fresh & Citrusy ASL is very pleasing leaving a good post shave feel.

Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of Bulldog Original Moisturiser.

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

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

Friday - Travel Day Shave.
Off to visit my mother in her new residence in Indianapolis. Today I decided to go with the tried and true R41. Over the years on this thread there have been stories of the “untamed” initial version of the R41 that was known for its exceptional aggressiveness. I have the revised version which I find to be a very efficient razor with no challenges with aggression.

The three pass shave has left my face super smooth. No errors to mention here.

Hope you l have a great day gentlemen.

 

Awesome looking shave Chris

 

Outstanding shave John with a perfect plan for the month.

 

Glad it arrived safely and that you are giving it the treatment!

Good going @Trigger Joe the Lathermeister!

Safe travels and Joe. I think we all pretty much enjoy the R41 in this thread.

 

Very nice Chris

 

Thank you Joe

Thank you Chris

 

Outstanding Cella shave Barry

 

Thank you joe.

 

Cella always provides a great shave. Well done Barry

 

Awesome shave and setup Chris.

 

Marvelous Mühle shave Joe. Safe travels.

 

Thanks Chris. MWF really is an excellent soap. If I have to give it a negative, then it would be that it doesn't have a strong scent, but that's ok. Sometimes I need a lightly scented soap when I go to my favorite Christian coffee house because some people have allergies.

 

Thanks Joe. Indeed it is.

 

Joe.
