(Face & Head Shave)

Another new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend.

It's been a while since I last added the Wickham soap to my rotation. What is astoundingly good about some shaving soaps that I've sampled is the shaving value you get from them. The Wickham 1912 classic 24 soap is absolutely brilliant considering the small amount I used, it provided me with a wonderful protective lather for the shave, and a superb post shave feeling to my face, with a pleasant scent throughout the shave leaving a excellent post shave feel.

Another close comfortable efficient combined face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

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

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

 

thanks Joe

Thanks Joe

Thank you again Joe

 

25th MAY 2024
Days growth = 1



Prep = 3 x HOT water soak
Preshave = PRORASO
Soap = Sterling Agar over the top of the PreShave
Brush = Pura Setola
Bowl = Timeless
Razor = Schick E3 Canadian
Blade = Personna day 5
Passes = 2+
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, CWR, Thayers
ASL = Sterling Bay Rum
Scent = Black Oud
Damage = none, BUT this SE does tend to highlight exactly where the rough bits of skin are….at my age anyway

Super smooth. Relaxing Saturday shave. Don’t really want/need 3 passes with this razor. ATG right side of face, not needed anywhere else. Neck, mouth, chin were WTG and XTG only. I will say it again, as Paul would do! Super smooth!

Have some relaxing Saturday shaves

Edit: PS, new Alum block brought into service, my first one lasted for well over a year, but I did drop this last year, so that reduced it in size

 

Excellent shave and post Barry.
